On the road at 1000hrs. Goodbye Mt Vernon, Ky, enjoyed the 3 day stop over.
We crossed into Tennessee in about an hour. I really dislike driving thru the mountains here. It seems like a roller coaster all the way thru on I-75. We only had about 1 hr to our exit at Caryville, Tn., staying 1 night at Cove Lake State Park. This is one of a few states to offer all seniors a discount, an electric/water RV site is only $16.39 per night.
We drove around the Park a few times and settled on a site. All we had to do was call the office and do all the registration business via phone. So easy ! I wonder why other states don't do this instead of having to drive back to the office to do 2 minutes worth of business. The layout here is nice. There's 3 loops and lots of choices of the many roomy sites. About ½ of them are level and long enough for a 50 footer rig. It's close to I-75 and nestled in the mountains and close to town for shopping, even has a Super Wally World. We're only staying for 1 night.

We left the above State Park at 1000hrs and jumped on I-75 N by accident. Heather, the co-pilot noticed the mile markers were increasing---oopps--U turn required—now we were on track. It's nice to have a good co-pilot!!
The first thing we encountered was a rather lengthy and busy construction zone. I think the road crew assumed model T's would use these lanes. VERY NARROW !!!! A lot of the lane barrels had been hit and of course everyone wanted to be up front. NOT a good way to start the day.
We only had about 83 some miles to drive so it didn't take long. We got off I-75 S and went to 40 W and then S 58. Very pretty area & much more relaxed driving.
Pulled into Hornsby Hollow CG in Ten Mile, TN about 1300hrs. Wow, is this a nice CG !! A bit off the beaten path but well worth the $26 per night. Nice young couple with excellent host skills. I'll put this place on my okay to back to list. We pulled into lot # 31 with a lake view and plenty of privacy.
We're aiming at SE Mississippi sometime next week. No rush and No schedule, all plans are in jello !! LOL
REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY !!

What a great way to clean one's feet!! I live in Texas but use to live in Pennsylvania and have traveled a lot of mountain roads from Pa, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. Love the mountains. Be safe. I need to hit the road one of these days. Inspection ran out on the RV. Got to get that done first.
