2 RV's heading to Greer SC

... spending the night in Knoxville TN


IL-IN-OH-KY-TN


Alarm did not get set last night. So we overslept by a half hour.


Hot breakfast and yogurt. Got a whiff of bad juice so I dumped what I had taken.


Rolling at 8 AM. It is still raining. Wipers on my RV are automatic and they were really whipping in this rain, not sure what they would do in a down pour.


1st stop - Covington IN for fuel at a Marathon. No signage on the freeway for the station so we pulled off on the ramp and still couldn't see the station so BB looked it up on the map. And then we could see their freeway sign directly across from us. Not sure how I missed it, it stands way above the trees.


2nd stop - Shelbyville IN for food. McD's at Pilot. Crowded so we had to back into single parking spots. We both got a McDouble today.


3rd stop - Sadieville KY for fuel at Loves. Even with 'saving' $25 off the posted prices over the last two days I still am only going to break even on the fuel on this RV. Glad they are giving me 'bonus pay.'


4th stop - London KY at Wendy's. It is right next to a BP truckstop. We don't see too many non-chain truckstops that are busy but this one is. At one point 7 of the 8 fuel islands were full. Parking lot is full. It is right next to a 'Dog Patch' strip mall. It looks run down but is mostly full.


5th and final stop is the Comfort Inn east of Knoxville. The place is full. No easy place to park, it took us a while to park and I parked both of them. Hope we can get out in the AM.


Long day, 11 hours. Three hours left to go tomorrow, I should have enough fuel. BB will not. I had just enough range when I last fueled to get to the drop. Now my range has gone up so I will have 70 extra miles ... if I don't loose them.
