Our Location today is Crittenden, Kentucky, USA.
Even though it didn’t seem like we were overly busy
yesterday by the time we’d taken our showers we simply crawled between the
sheets and went to sleep. Yes we slept all night and when we woke up just after
7:30 this morning we had a lot of work to do. I hadn’t packed away the
computers nor gotten any of the things we normally carry in the truck packed. The
temperature had cooled to the low 50s so when it came to finish putting things
away outside this morning I had to do something I haven’t done in a long time.
I had to wear a jacket.
Even with the delay we were still pulling out of River
Plantation RV Resort onto highway
441 at exactly 9:30. The weather was clear but crisp to the point we had to
warm the inside of the truck for a while. Even though we weren’t leaving the
warmth we experienced while down south it was still sad to be leaving the
uniqueness of the Pigeon Forge area.
A half hour later and we were entering the traffic of
westbound I-40
towards Knoxville. We used the I-640 to I-75 saving
us mileage and time. The traffic was heavy and there were some slower trucks as
they climbed through the mountain passes with their heavy loads otherwise through
the remainder of the day traffic would not get slower than the speed limit. It
wasn’t long before we were saying good bye to Tennessee and hello Kentucky.
The scenery was captivating and neither of us felt the need
to stop so we continued on until we saw the sign advertising Cracker Barrel at the Berea. We followed the signs but when we
saw that there was no way of fitting in their lot we thought we’d park at Walmart
around the corner. This was where we really got a shock. The wind was blowing
so hard that the jackets we were wearing didn’t feel too warm. We walked half way
back to Cracker
Barrel when we spotted a Taco Bell. Since it had been some time since we’d eaten
there and we were freezing cold because of the wind that’s where we ate. Before
leaving the area we also visited the Walmart for some bread and milk to hold us over
until we get home.
We still had 96 more miles for today’s destination and after
traveling through a long construction zone we were just starting to relax. That
was when we started seeing something we’ve never seen before School Buses using
the interstate to bring kids back home. Remember when you could just walk to
school?
It was nearly 4:00 when we arrived at what used to be the
old Cincinnati
South KOA. The manager said that they have had rain every day for
the last two weeks. After getting all set up and having supper we watched the
local news that showed some dry but very cool temperatures heading into the
weekend.
We are slowly making our way home but did get 258.7 miles
closer today. Tomorrow we’ll check out the local area. Thanks for following
along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
