2 RV's, 1 RV to Greer SC, 1 RV to Myrtle Beach SC

... spending the night at Lexington KY

Breakfast - Juice. This place has not had breakfast since the start of Covid. Today they do. Juice and nuke sandwiches. And a couple of kinds of pastries. First the juice machine is off so I have them turn that on (an hour after breakfast opened) Then I try the grape juice and water squirts all over the place. So I let them know that also. "Of course it does that, there is no juice container." I make a couple of comments trying nicely to let them know they should do something about it. Finally BB says 'Well maybe you should put up a sign letting people know not to use it so you don't need to mop the floor later.' (When we left there was a sign on the machine)

We pull out about 7:30. The lot still only has five cars and two of them are us.

1st stop is the Loves in Davenport for fuel. Fuel for BB would be cheaper at the Flying J but she fuels with me. When I get my pump turned on, it seemed like the cashier knew what she was doing. When I go back in to pay, not so much. Finally she asks for help, but by then my card has been swiped so many times it is locked out. I have to use my personal card which costs me more.

2nd stop is the rest area near Goodfield. First I call the company fuel card number. No option to talk to a human. So I called our companies central dispatch, the only number I can think of. One person working today and they have no idea what to do.

3rd stop is the Loves/Hardees in Oakwood for fuel and food. We hadn't planned on stopping at Loves/Hardees or for fuel. But I wanted to put in a little fuel to see if the card was working again, and I wanted to do it at Loves. (But it wouldn't have had to been at Loves.) The card is working again :) For food, same as usual at Hardees, bacon western burger and I only eat half the bun.

Somewhere before or after this stop I had been following a semi, finally there was no one coming for a mile plus so I pulled out to pass. It takes a mile or so, maybe less, to pass him. By then someone is right up on me. As soon as I think I am good to pull back in the right lane the car behind me is also pulling over ... so I pull back left and let them go. The get along side of me and hang there for about a mile, I ignore them. Then they pull right in front of me, but by the time they are in the left lane I am back in the right lane and they move on. ???

4th stop is the Loves in Whiteland for fuel. Fuel is cheaper in KY so I just put 'some' fuel in. I do not do the math but when I get back in it looks like I have added way too much.

Our one toll for this trip is the bridge from IN to KY, both bridges have tolls.

5th stop is the rest area near Simpsonville. BB tries to make a reservation but the WiFi is slow. Very slow. We had planned on staying in Lexington but two of the hotels said no rooms available. So we look at Richmond a few miles beyond. All they have are twin beds, no kings. So BB looks to see what other hotels are in Lexington ... now there are rooms at the two that said no a few minutes ago. But the WiFi is so slow that we leave without a reservation.

6th and final stop is Lexington

First for fuel, I am down below a range of 50 miles on a diesel. I put in one gallon at the Speedway. BB now has enough service to reserve a room

Second stop is the Comfort Inn

Thirds stop is across the street for food at the Cracker Barrel.

Load board

US - 438

IA - 180

Today we did over 500 miles, tomorrow we have about 350 to go. So a shorter day tomorrow. My 1st fuel stop should be my last. Based on my last fill, I should come in right at 'E.' But I assume my mileage has gone up ... or not, now we will be hitting mountains tomorrow. We have pretty much decided how we will do Monday. Once we have the rental car 'close,' BB will leave and I will follow once I am delivered so we will not be running together the last four hours. But by doing it that way we should get both RV's delivered on Monday. Who knows, we might spend a couple of hours on the beach ??
