It was still raining as we started off, but there were soon breaks in the clouds and the sun kept trying to peak through. It was pretty windy again today – and not in a good way – head and cross winds so we were bounced around the road and it wreaks havoc on the gas mileage!
One little town we went through had not just one large “animal”, but two! The pink elephant greeted us as we came into town at the gas station, and the cow with pink sunglasses was by the lotto store! They have everything in Kentucky.
We drove lots of small highways, KY920 and KY79, through lots of little tiny towns – one or two houses – on our way to Tennessee! Tobey was a good “barn quilt” spotter along the way!
We arrived in Clarksville about 3 and met one of Tobey’s fraternity brothers, Gary, to have an early dinner. He was leaving to go up to Ft. Knox – right by where we were last night – on business! We hadn’t seen him since 1979 or 80, but we had a really good visit. It was fun catching up and hearing about his travels all over the world with his job as an engineer.
After we said our goodbyes, Tobey and I took my dead camera into the BestBuy store to get the warranty repair work started. They will send it in and see if it can be repaired, then send it back to us in Colorado. It takes 2-3 weeks, so we were glad to get a jump on starting the process.
We then hopped on Interstate 24 and drove back to Kentucky! We are camping at the Kentucky Core of Engineers Hurricane Creek Campground located on Lake Barkley. It was dark when we arrived and the campground host’s day off, so we grabbed a site and will pay in the morning. It is pretty quiet and we can hear the crickets chirping outside.
It will be an early bedtime for us tonight since neither of us slept well with all the rain last night. Tomorrow off to visit friends Chris and Sue in Gilbertsville, Kentucky – about 45 minutes away.
