11/03/18 - I slept a little better last night until a semi truck parked right next to me and ran the engine all night but did drift in and out of sleep.  I talked with brother Daniel and learned what might be my battery problem so felt better about the red light.  I left the rest stop at 8:40 am and then stopped for gas.  There were signs that it was a Love's truck stop but when I exited off, I could not see any signs which was very unusual but had to make a left and so planned to turn around when two semi trucks came up beside me so I decided to follow them and soon we were at the Love's truck stop.  It really was farther from the freeway then I had ever seen before.  When I started off, my GPS decided to go blank.  I never figured out why but stopped off at the next rest stop and turned it off and re-started it and it worked well.  I got to the RV resort at 11:45 am.  Stopped off at the office, got checked in and told which site was mine. I got to the site and oh, my it was very, very small.  A van (all covered up) was right next to where I needed to back in!!  My back was better and I was able to get the car off without any problems.  I did make the site even smaller by parking the car off to the side but I tried to figure out the best way to start.  I started in and soon I found myself very close to the van.  I also was very, very close to the guy's gutter and awning across the street.  He did come out and helped me a little and I without hitting anything, I got myself in the space.  It is on a cement pad, so I did not have to put wood under the levelers which was wonderful.  I rested awhile and then hooked up the electric and water.  Rested some more and then did the sewer system.  Everything went together great.  I then rested some more, answered some text messages and finally got a sandwich made and a shower taken.  I do feel discomfort in my back this evening but have planned to just sleep, lay on the couch and maybe get some food to eat inbetween tomorrow.  After this writing I am off to the couch for the evening. I have attached a picture of the site:
