Well we have reached Nashville to start our adventure. For
the last 9 weeks we have spent time visiting family and friends. I started off
visiting family and friends in Massachusetts and New York a couple of weeks
before Mike retired. After his retirement we headed out visiting folks in NC,
SC, FL, GA and TN. It was a trip of mixed feelings. We were happy to see
everyone but sad that we would not see them again for awhile (18+ months).
After we visited everyone we headed to Moscow, IA to have one of our slides repaired. As always HWH was on top of things. Our appointment was not until Tuesday at 7am but we arrived at noon on Monday and they took us right in and had us on our way by 2pm. We had extra time now so we decided to hit the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky. Wow does Mike like Bourbon and I found one that I liked. After Kentucky we went to Pigeon Forge, TN for a few days waiting for our westward travels to start. While in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg we visited some of the Moonshine distilleries. Man does Mike like Moonshine. He is stocking up for the long trip ahead.

Mike and I went roaming around Nashville before the Bohrer’s
arrival here tonight. We are staying at a wonderful
campground. It is an Army Corps of
Engineer park. The sites are big and
spacious. Water, electric s and a dump station. It is Seven Points Campground in Hermitage,
TN and it is really expensive at $20 a night. Haha.
