Alive and Well in Tennesee



Traveling to Yuma, TN

All the apps and plans your route can change anyway. Construction on I40. Technology is no match for old fashioned people to people. Stopped for gas at a Conoco and asked for alternate route around construction. Routed us to Hwy 70 for 40 miles to Brinkley then back to I40.
Passed through Hazen, AR - population 1600. 2 Baptist Churches - First Baptist and Calvary. Dennis and I said at the same time "church split."  Across the street from one church was the local liquor store….
Seeing lots of farms growing grains on this road - not so bad a detour.
 Met couple this morning at our campground from Longview who are traveling to New York to go on cruise to Quebec. They have stayed in campground in New Jersey we will stay in.

R and R ( rest and repair)
Last night we had an odor from the bedroom AC that smelled like electrical wires overheating. Did not need it to sleep so Dennis called warranty people this morning and will  get repair service here at camp to look at it.
Repair service was here this morning. Ground wire in AC burned up. Was replaced but he said was running too much current. Did not know if that was the cause. He called his boss and engineers said was OK. If we smell getting hot again we will not use it and replace when we get home.  So far so good.

Traveling to Misty River RV, Maryville,  TN   
We stopped for picnic lunch outside of Knoxville. As we got out of truck it started pouring, but we made it to covered table and enjoyed watching the rain. Temp lower today.
Picnic in the rain.


Also, the time zone changed on us along the way and it is now an hour later than Texas.

Misty River RV Camp Office

 We took a wrong turn and ended up on a very crooked road along the river instead of the hwy.   The road we were on was NOT a good road for an RV.  Finally called campground and got directions. The directions we had in our carefully prepared travel plans were right; we just did not see the road sign at the right time.

Nice evening -rain!  Heat has broken.
