Who knew that
Tennessee was so L---O---N---G?!
We
started the day near Johnson City and within 50 miles we got onto I-40 which we
will follow all the way to Arizona.
Outside the window it was green and rolling, with some mountains and
farms. Well, there was Nashville---not
so pretty!
And the heat
continues. At one point in mid-afternoon the thermometer read 97 degrees.
Our stopping
point for the day was Natchez Trace State Park, about halfway between Nashville
and Memphis. On the map, it appeared to
be right off the interstate, and yes, we reached the park office about two
miles along. There we found out that the
campground was another ten miles into the park, on Pin Oak Lake. So we drove and drove (through some cooler
forests) to arrive at the RV campground which is very nice. Fairly new, pull-through site, good view of
the lake….but little shade.
Still that
shower sure felt good after a long hot day, and we did have a little time
outside in the shade of the one little tree along our site. The campground hosts welcomed us and came
over to answer my question about the route back to the interstate, quite a
difference from the gruff guy at Warrior’s Path.
Then, back into
the AC for a good night’s sleep (though with the time change, I was yawning by 9
pm).
