At the very tip top of Georgia!

September 14 – We were up at 8 and Bill was in line at 9 for his script.  We had plenty of time this morning so I made ham and cheese omelets and we had the rest of our fruit mix from yesterday.  We left at about 9:15 and headed on to Nashville.

It was a rough driving day!  The traffic in Nashville was horrible and I had an ambulance I had to get out of the way for, then there was more and more road work and later there was an accident that stalled us for about 30 minutes.

We got off to get fuel at Pilot and did not see the sign for truck entrance and then had to drive a mile past it to find a place to turn around.  The plan was to fuel and to have lunch but there was no where to park.  So we just got our diesel and left and stopped later down the road at a Flying J where there was plenty of pull thru spots to stop.  We ate and got back on the road to Chattanooga.  There were some ups and downs with 5-6% grades but that was not bad at all.  It’s just stressful when people won’t let you over or cut in on you from the merge lane.  Then I hit a bird that was in the road and starting to fly off, but I was going 60 and I guess he wasn’t up to speed.  That was a first!  Bill said there were no “parts” on the front of the RV.

There is a Camping World at the first exit in GA, just south of Chattanooga that we stopped at last year for some assistance.  They have a campground that looked pretty nice so that is where we stopped tonight.  They don’t take reservations and it’s all 30 AMP but we managed to arrive before all the spots were gone.

Bill put more water in the tank and it seems to be working fine now.  The true test will be tomorrow once we’re on the road.  Once we hooked up we went over to the CW store and I got some extra light bulbs and asked some questions.  Today Bill was getting a bandaid while I was driving and he said I hit a bump and he grabbed or fell against the cabinet door and sprung it.  CW didn’t have a hinge for it so tomorrow he will call Winnebago and order it.  For now we are using handy dandy duct tape. 

We had less trouble tonight getting the Directv working so that was good.  I did my last load of laundry on the road.  I called a plumber who is coming out on Thursday after-noon to hopefully fix our leak at home. 


Bill was excited over dinner, grilled brats!  He was whining last night so thought I’d make one of his favorites tonight.  Only one more night on the road, I can’t believe another summer has flown by!
