Awake: 7:26 Temp 59 sleep 7+00 sunny overnight @ Lenoir City, TN.
1st thing this morning, I clean the smashed bugs off of our windshield, wipe the dust off the mirrors & climb the telescoping ladder to check the slide tops. Then we leave the Soaring Eagle Campground @ 12:28pm; drive about (5) miles down the road & top off our fuel tank @ the Flying “J” Truck Stop. Then continue with smooth roads on I-40 & I-75 to our destination.
Arrive @ the Cove Lake Tennessee State Campground in Caryville, TN @ 2:10pm.
Today’s travel: 58 miles 1+18 time 10.3 gal used 5.6 mpg 44.3 avg speed.
This state park allows one to drive in, pick out a campsite, hookup & then later, the Park Ranger comes by to collect the fee @ your door. We decided to detach the Suzuki, leave the coach in a “out of the way parking area” & then, drive the car around for the hunt. I’m glad we did….most of the sites are 30 amps with only a few being 50 amps; plus some of the roads have sharp dips & hills. This campground is very quiet & not so crowded.
7:15 dinner: Kathy describes it as: creamed hamburger, beans & green peppers plus mixed salad.
Late night TV: A docudrama on Marlin Brando part I.
Travel high temp=85 Lights out: 12:45am
