We left May 25 at 8:30 in the morning and had a smooth trip to Kodak, TN. We arrived about 5:30 p.m. and set up on the edge of the Cracker Barrel parking lot. It was toasty - 97 sunny degrees when we arrived. Thank heavens for a breeze and a fan that works off the DC current in the trailer! Enjoyed our meal at the Cracker Barrel and enjoyed their front porch rockers for a little while before taking a short walk before dark. I found a black cat and it was tame so spent a little time petting her before I went in. During the night the wind came up and the trailer was shaking but no rain and no tornadoes. I understand Nashville had a lot of wind and rain.
This morning we locked ourselves out of the trailer! The door slammed shut and locked and the keys were on the counter. OH-OH! We walked across the street to McD's for breakfast and then had to empty the trunk of the trailer and Jack crawled up into the trailer and pushed the bed up so he could get in and unlock the trailer. Exciting morning! I checked the Knoxville paper, but no mention of the American Idol, so on the road I called Angie to find out if Scotty won.
Our GPS system took us about 64 miles out of our way to the Loretta Lynn Ranch here in Hurricane Mills, TN. It had us taking exit 152 and we hit every back road (some I think twice) as it tried to find the way to the campground. Some roads were narrow, all were curvy, and some were gravel. Jack doesn't like gravel roads when he's just washed his truck! Finally had to call the Ranch to see if they could help us get there. Our gas tank was running low, and all we could see were cows and grain bins! We finally got here (whew) and learned we SHOULD have gone 9 miles farther on I-40 to exit 143 and we wouldn't have had any trouble. However, now we're set up and looking forward to exploring the Loretta Lynn home and museum and listening to her concert on Saturday night.
