2 RV's to Greer SC

... spending the night at Duncan SC

Breakfast - eggs, sausage and yogurt. It is supposed to be eggs or yogurt but I seem to be back to getting both. Breakfast starts at 6 AM, we were there at 7 AM and it looked like we were the first person to take any eggs. I had noticed last night when we checked in there were only three reservations printed up. And only a half dozen cars in the lot when we left.

We pull out at 7:30 local.

1st stop was at Sadieville at a Loves for fuel. Our discount didn't work again. Our first credit card only allows us three swipes. We did that and then switched credit cards and didn't worry about the discount.

I had to go in for my receipt so I asked the clerk what the issue is. Their pumps have been updated with the software to ask for the app info, but those same pumps have not been updated to read the app info. We could come inside to get the discount, but then we have to pre-pay and guess as to how much fuel we are going to put in. Also, the rewards card is supposed to work, but that needs to be swiped before the credit card where the app is read after the credit card.

2nd stop was Corbin at Sonny's BBQ. BB writes down all our stops and then I just ask her when we leave the prior stop. I had asked back in Sadieville but hadn't written it down, so I was looking at the Sadieville exit number in a different state. :)

... I missed the exit, it didn't register in my mind even though I saw the Loves next door to our food.

I realized as soon as I went over the overpass. Then BB started calling but it was not an emergency so I did not pull over until I got to the next exit four miles down the road.

Food at Sonny's is good enough that I went back instead of BB following me to the next exit. Good food, again.

But by BB calling me, we realized that my message box was full ... and the last message on my phone was from Dec 16. So it's been over two months that no one has been able to leave me a message and no one has said anything.

3rd stop was the rest area near Dandridge.

Just past Dandridge there was a car in the ditch upside down that someone would have had to been cut out of if they were not thrown from it. It seems like the same spot we have seen a prior serious crash.

4th stop is Campobello at a Circle K, it is listed online on various lists as a Pilot and looks the part. We both put in more fuel than we needed. We may have 'just made it' to our final fuel stop without adding fuel.

We looked at a lot of hotels but ended up back at our standby.

5th and final stop is the Quality Inn in Duncan. From there we walk two doors down to the Hardee's because they were advertising a Philly burrito. But that is for breakfast. So we had the Philly burger instead. Not bad.

There is a new Indian place next door to the hotel in the old Waffle House building, but BB doesn't know Indian food well enough to try it on her own and I would have no idea what to order.

Mostly sunny day today. Warm weather. Didn't notice any crazy drivers (lots of speeders) When we shut down at 5 PM it was 77 degrees. :)

Tomorrow

We plan on being at the drop at 9 AM when they open, then head back to the mid-west.

IF there is something before we are out of the area heading back to the mid-west, we may take it, but other than that ... we will be back Sunday AM.

The other reason we would not have headed straight back was if this last storm was still hanging around or there was not any trips worth taking.
