May 11th and 12th.....

We had some long sleeved white T-shirts made for Bill at Standard Printing in Johnson City. We wanted to do lots of different cycling shirts for police, fire and military, but it was just more  than we could handle financially. The printing place gave us an excellent price and the white shirts are way more visible. So if you see this guy on the road this summer...wave Hi!
The next few days were busy, busy and Wednesday came before we knew it. We left the house at 1:45 in the afternoon feeling like a couple of pack mules! LOL!
After all the stuff we packed in the camper, still managed to forget a few things...the tea kettle and coffee!! Will definitely have to hit a grocery store soon. We were pretty tired when we left, so only drove about 4 hours. I was searching the Garmin for campgrounds and it said there was one 43 miles away. Then Bill noticed we were driving past a state park sign with a campground. Yay! We were right next to one!
So in we drove and found a nice, quiet spot.

We were the only ones there. :) It was called the Norris Dam State Park and had 30 amp service and water. There was a dump station available too...all for $22 a night. I had some trouble sleeping as I was a little bit homesick, but that will pass in a few days. A few days before we left, I had my hair trimmed at Ila's so now I'm kinda spikey. :)
After the humidity yesterday, I could see that the curling iron would only be used for special occasions. In the morning, we stopped and got some shots of Norris Dam

and talked with several game wardens and found out that the company building the dam had built the whole town of Norris to house all the workers it took to build the dam. When we told one of them about our trip, he gave us some patches too! Thank-you!

So we're on the road again heading for Kentucky.
