We spent another wonderful week and a half at
Moss Park. I'm getting used to this no sewer thing and we lasted the whole 10 days without having to dump our tanks! I've
posted on Moss Park before so I won't reiterate the wonderfulness of the park now...however the sandy road was a little worse for the wear after some intense rains the day we arrived. We did get some great 'critter' pics while we were here this time.

We've definitely caught the Disney bug and continued to spend a lot of time there despite the 35-40 minute drive to get there.

We attempted to 'rope drop' Universal Studios Islands of Adventure again to see Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure but AGAIN our plans were thwarted when the ride didn't open until late afternoon. We're starting to think we're cursed! Of course, not being able to ride one ride is a minor thing in the grand scheme of things... We spent the afternoon at Epcot instead.

After our misadventure with Universal Studios, we came home to discover our refrigerator had bit the dust. You may
remember from an earlier post that we had some trouble with our refrigerator tripping a GFCI, but that went away mysteriously after Aaron banged on it, without any obvious cause. Well, we came home to discover our '
watchdog' had turned off power to our whole RV due to a 'hot neutral', which we traced back to our refrigerator. Unfortunately our first thought was that one of the new campers had contaminated the electric system at the park, and we contacted our campsite hosts before our full diagnosis revealed the cause, but they were absolutely delightful and friendly even with the false alarm at 9pm.
Fortunately Aaron was able to repair the propane functionality of the refrigerator (which had been broken since just after we purchased the RV), so we were able to keep the refrigerator running while we waited for the replacement heating elements to arrive. Aaron got the new elements installed after a couple days and everything is working properly again. Thank goodness he's so handy!

The last bit of excitement at Moss Park was another rocket launch at
Kennedy Space Center! This
SpaceX launch of 60 Starlink satellites was originally scheduled for Saturday but got postponed twice to Monday morning. We had to move the RV Monday, so it was a complicated day getting up early, moving the RV to the boat parking area, and then running to Kennedy Space Center by 8:30 to catch the launch to the LC-39 viewing gantry. We purchased the package that gave us breakfast, a souvenir cap, and guaranteed seats. The day was much clearer than the last launch day, so we had a great view of the rocket. I also remembered my telephoto lens for my phone camera so I have a somewhat decent video to post this time!
