This post was written Monday morning, but being that I had no Internet connection, it not posted until Monday evening.
Saint Paul, IN.
58 deg. clear, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 77 deg. partly cloudy, NW wind @ 5 to 10 mph.
After a good nights’ rest, we left the Walnut Meadow CG just 5 minutes after 10:00. Being that I hadn’t had a drink of good old #2 diesel fuel since way back when we left Apex, NC in May, I was getting pretty thirsty. So, just down the road from the CG, Jim found a station that I could get in and out of easily, and we pulled in and I got a nice big drink! :-)
After I had my fill, we got back onto I-75 and continued heading North. 75 took us up into Ohio and to Cincinnati. Just before Cincinnati, the traffic came to a screeching halt!! You see, they are doing some road repairs and had one of the 3 lanes closed, so all the heavy traffic had to funnel down to 2 lanes. Well, that wouldn’t have been too bad, but there was a bad accident, and as we went past the accident scene, I saw a pick-up truck smashed against a tree off to the side of the road. It looked like the truck had hit the tree at a high rate of speed, as the whole front end was pushed back a foot or more.
Once past the accident, we pulled into a rest area so Jim could get out and stretch, check tires and CLT’s tow bar. Then we continued up to I- 275 and took it West and around to the SW side of the city.
That’s when things started getting confusing. You see, I thought we would be going from Kentucky to Ohio, but instead the road first took us into Indiana, then into Ohio, and then after we turned off on I-74, we ended back in Indiana again!!
Once back into Indiana, I-74 got really rough in places. In fact, 74 from Ohio up here to Saint Paul, is the worst road that we’ve been on since we left Florida. And, I expect it will be just as rough all the way to Indianapolis. :-(
It was 2:10 when we pulled up to the office at the Hidden Paradise CG here in Saint Paul, so it took us 4 hours and 5 minutes to travel 193 miles, get my drink of good old #2, slow down to a crawl through that accident scene/construction area, and stop for a few minutes at that rest area.
Not too bad.
Hidden Paradise CG here in Saint Paul is not what it used to be. Jim and Linda used to come here many years ago, and it was fairly nice with some sites right along side of a river. The park now has many permanent RVs in it and of course they have the good sites. I’m in a pull-thru site and it’s OK, but nothing special. Oh, and it’s costing Jim and Linda almost $30 a night to park me here in a site that only has water and electric.
It’s not listed in the TL Campground book any longer, and I wouldn’t recommend that anyone go out of their way to find this park. It’s not worth the effort.
By sometime this afternoon, we should be getting to Rantoul, IL. We’ll be staying there until about the 1st of July, when we’ll head up into Wisconsin for Linda’s family reunion.
I hope I-74 isn’t too rough and the traffic around Indy isn’t too bad.
Did you know that athough Indiana means, "Land of the Indians" there are fewer than 8,000 Native Americans living in the state today?

Tennessee to Kentucky, and A Great Visit With Rick And Doris
Berea, KY
74 deg. overcast, SW wind @ 9 mph.
Forecast today = high temp. 82 deg. cloudy this morning with a 40% chance of a shower, then partly cloudy later. W. winds @ 10 to 25 mph.
We left the State Park in Caryville, TN at about 5 minutes after 10:00 yesterday morning, and once we got back onto I-75, it was a 1 hour and 55 minute drive up here to Berea, KY. The traffic was pretty heavy, but it moved right along for the entire 105 miles.
After we arrived and Jim and Linda got me set up, Linda called Rick and made plans to go to dinner with him, his wife Doris, their son Corey and his wife Theresa.
So..... about 5:00 Rick and Doris came out here to the Walnut Meadow CG and after hugs and handshakes, took Jim and Linda over to the Cracker Barrel Restaurant, which is just down the road from the CG. By the time they got there, Cory and Theresa were there and after more handshakes and hugs, they all had great meals.
After they finished eating, they all went over to Cory and Theresa's house, that they just purchased about a year ago, and sat and visited until about 9:30. By the time Rick and Doris brought Jim and Linda back here, it was almost 10:00.
Then after more hugs and handshakes, they said their good-bye's.
Both Linda and Jim really enjoyed seeing Rick and Doris and their family again. We don't get through this way very often, so it had been quite a long time since their last visit.
Hopefully it won't be as long next time.
Walnut Meadow CG is nothing special, but the people running the park are very friendly, and it is a Passport America park, so we're staying here for 1/2 price. Today, we'll continue North on I-75 and then when we get up to Cincinnati, we'll pick up I-74 and head into Indiana.
I hope the weather holds and it doesn't get too windy.
Did you know that the first Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant owned and operated by Colonel Sanders is located in Corbin, KY?

An Interesting Stay At Coves Lake, Plans, and A Phone Call To IL.
Caryville, TN
65 Deg. partly cloudy, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 86 deg. partly sunny, 20% chance of showers and t-storms, SW winds @ 5 to 10 mph.
Well, our stay here at the Cove Lake S.P. has been interesting. First of all, I must say that all the people here have been very friendly and there have not been any loud parties or anything like that. But, for some reason, these people like to drive around the park in their cars and trucks. Those people in cars and trucks, along with bunches of kids on bicycles rinding around in the park makes for an interesting and sometimes dangerous situation.
I must say though, that most of the drivers are very careful and watch out for the kids.
I've really enjoyed watching all the campers come in and set up their RVs or tents. You can sure tell which ones are experienced and which ones aren't though. Some are finished in just a short while, while others, like the campers 2 sites down from me take hours to get set up. The same goes for campfires. some of the people get a nice fire going in no time, and others can never get it burning right, and it just smokes a lot.
Like I said, it's been interesting, but I think that for the rest of the summer, we'll stay away from State Parks on the weekends. ;-)
Today, we'll be heading up to Berea, KY to see Linda's cousin, Rick, and his family. We stop by any time we're in the area. and it's always good to see them. Berea is only about 100 miles from here, so we'll be able to take our time and enjoy the drive.
Jim called Louise and Paul yesterday. They're the folks who manage the CG up in Rantoul, IL where we usually stay for a good part of the summer. He wanted to give them a "heads up" that we'll be arriving sometime this coming Monday. We never make reservations or anything, as there are always spaces available, but Louise likes to know when to expect us, and then she always makes sure that a good site is available for me. :-) Then after he made that call, he called Alternative Resources , their mail forwarding service to have the mail sent to the post office up there too.
Did you know that Greeneville, TN has the only monument in the United States honoring both the Union and Confederate armies? It is located on the lawn of the Green County Courthouse
Oh, one more thing.
You might me a Red Neck of you have a black and orange pickup truck with a red tailgate.
Just an observance. ;-)

Making Contact With Jenny, and Cove Lake S.P.
Caryville, TN
67 deg. clear, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 85 deg. partly sunny, becoming mostly cloudy this afternoon with a 60% chance of rain and t-storms.
Yesterday morning, before we left the Woodsmoke CG, Jim tried to call Jenny on the phone, but couldn't get her. But, in just a little while, she called Jim and they talked for awhile and tried to catch up on some of the things that have been going on since he and Linda had seen her in Branson in 2008. It's too bad that it wasn't possible for them to get together this time, but Jim told her that the very next time we're in her area, he'll be sure to call and then he and Linda can meet up with her. :-)
Even with the phone call, it was only 9:40 when we pulled out of the CG and continued heading North on I-26. When we got up to I-81 we tuned SW on it and followed it until it joined up with I-40. Then, I-40 took us over to Knoxville, where we took I-640 around to the North and then picked up I-75 heading North. That, brought us up here to Caryville and the Cove Lake State Park.
It was about 12:20 when we pulled in, so it had taken us 2 hours and 50 minutes to travel 145 miles.
The Cove Lake S.P is really nice. It's well maintained, has some pretty large shady sites with water and 30amp electrical hook-ups. The roads are all paved and the sites are gravel with cement picnic tables, a grill, and a fire ring. There are a few sites over by the lake, but of course, they were all taken. :-( Oh, and they also give a senior discount, so my site only cost Jim and Linda $16 a night!!!
What a deal!!!! We're staying for 2 nights!!!! ;-)
When we got here, there were a few RVs and tenters, but by last night, almost every site was filled. I really didn't expect that on a Thursday, but I guess the people are getting a jump on the weekend. It's something Jim and Linda will have to keep in mind though, because if we would have been coming to this park on a Friday, it's very possible that we wouldn't have been able to get a site.
For dinner last night, Jim hauled out his grill and cooked a ham steak while Linda got out buns, chips, raw vegetables and slaw. After they ate, they watched the news, Vanna and Jeopardy. Then, because the TV reception is not very good here, they fooled around with the computers until bedtime.
Oh, I amost forgot! Yesterday, Linda called her cousin, Rick, up in Berea KY, and asked him if he would be available to get together for dinner or something on Saturday, as we would be passing through the area. He said that they would, so plans were made to give him a call when we got up there, and then decide what to do.
Did you know that it was on this date in 1919 that Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote?

Enjoying The Peace And Quiet, Jenny, and Today's Plans
Unicoi, TN
63 deg. mostly cloudy, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 85 deg, partly sunny, light winds. 40% chance of t-storms.
Not a whole lot happened around here yesterday. Jim dumped my tanks again and checked my fluid levels and tires. Then, in mid afternoon, he took a little nap.
Meanwhile, Linda was going through old camp ground receipts and papers and organizing them so that the information can be entered into the computers. For whatever reason, they've gotten really far behind with entering the info, (They have information at almost every CG that they have stayed at since before they went full-timing,) and now it's going to be a pretty big project to get caught up.
The rest of the day was spent just enjoying being in this CG with all the trees, birds, and peace and quiet.
This morning when I started this blog, I found that one of Jim and Linda's friends, Jenny, had left a comment. In the comment she said that she lived close to Unicoi, and was wondering if Jim and Linda would have time to get together with her. Well, it doesn't look like it will work this time, but I know that Jim and Linda would love to see her again, and I'm sure that when we get back into this area again, Jim will be sure to give her a call and make some plans to get together.
Today, Jim has planned for us to get somewhere North of Knoxville, We could either stay at the Escapees Park up there, or there is also a nice sounding State Park a little farther North. I think it will depend on the weather and driving conditions to determine how far we'll go.
Did you know that June is "National Accordion Awareness Month"?

I'm Back, Memorial Day, and North Carolina to Tennessee
Unicoi, TN.
61 deg. fog, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 85 deg. partly sunny, 20% chance of afternoon showers, light Southerly winds.
Well, it appears that I'm back!! :-) I finally have an Internet signal that seems pretty stable, although the connection is not very fast. That's OK though, I can live with that. :-)
After 11 great days of me visiting and spending time with Big Herb, and Jim and Linda visiting and spending time with Roland and Louise, it was time to go. So, after hugs, handshakes, and a toot of my air horns, we left Forest City about 9:45 yesterday morning.
Now, before I tell you about yesterday's trip, let me back up a little.
Monday, (Memorial Day), Roland and Louise had decided to have a cook-out, but the weather sure wasn't co-operating as it rained all morning and about half of the afternoon. But, it stopped in time to get the grill fired up and some good smelling, (and from what I heard), great tasting steaks cooked.
Roland and Louise's son, Kenneth, and his family were there too, and from what I could hear from the other end of the RV port, everyone had a great time.
And, the weather became very pleasant, so everyone sat around and talked until about 8:00 when the bugs started coming out.
OK, now back to yesterday.
After leaving Forest City, we headed West on US74 and followed it until it connected with I-26. 26 then took us up to Asheville, where instead of turning off on I-40, we continued North on I-26.
Now, this took me completely by surprise. I was expecting to take I-40 up to Knoxville, but Jim had been looking at maps, CG directories, and talking to Roland, and he had said that it was a scenic route. So, just before we got to I-40, Jim and Linda decided to take 26 instead. Also, Jim had read about this neat little CG just a little way into Tennessee, so he decided we'd check it out. :-)
It was only a little after 12:00 when we tuned off of the Interstate. Even though the CG directory had instructions on how to get to the CG, it still wasn't easy to figure out exactly which way to go. In fact, when Linda saw the sign, and we turned off on a little gravel road, I still wasn't sure we had gone the right way! The road was very narrow, with trees on both sides, it went over some hills and finally after about 1/4 mile, we pulled up in front of the office.
By the time we pulled up in front of the office, it was 12:15, so it had taken us 2 hours and 30 minutes to travel 215 miles.
Now, I want to make this perfectly clear. When we pulled in, about the only thing I could see were big hills, mountains and trees. In fact, I wasn't sure I wanted to go any farther, but there was no place to turn around, so I really didn't have a choice.
Anyway, Jim went into the office and the very nice lady told him she had a site for me, but wanted to know if Jim had any problems backing me into a site. Well, those of you that have followed this blog for awhile know that Jim is pretty good at backing me into tight places, so he told her that it wouldn't be a problem. Come to find out, the site she assigned to me was on a sharp curve and the site was on my right, so Jim would have to back me into a site which was on what is called my "blind side".
After going on some more narrow, hilly, twisting, CG roads, Jim had to jockey me around some, but I'm now parked in site #18 at the Woodsmoke CG here in Unicoi, TN.
Actually this is a neat park. There's lots of trees, (so it may not be good if you depend on satellite), it's really quiet and peaceful, the people seem very friendly and it has that "it" feel that Jim and Linda look for.
Oh, and if any of you reading this and have anything larger than a 40' RV, don't come to this park!! There are a few sites that you may be able to get into, but I doubt if you'll be able to get around some of the corners in the park. In fact, in the TL CG directory it tells you that they have a 40' limit.
I think that Jim is going to go to the office this morning and pay for another night. He and Linda really seem to like it here. ;-)
Oh, I almost forgot!! When Jim was checking me into the park, the lady told him about a restaurant just on the other side of the Interstate. She said that the food was really good, and it wasn't very far. So.... about 5:30, CLT (Cute Little Truck), took them over to the Maple Grove Restaurant.
Now, this is not a fancy place, it's not even decorated very well inside, but if you like good home cooked meals, friendly service, and good prices, you'll want to go there. They have daily specials, and great deserts so make sure you're hungry when you go. ;-)
Did you know that in Tennessee, it is legal to gather and consume "roadkill"?
Just one last note.
Jim, Linda, and I want to thank Roland, Louise and Big Herb again for the great southern hospitality. We're looking forward to seeing you again real soon.
