ONTO TENNESSEE

We left Big Bone Lick Friday 9/21/18.  A perk for Fredrick:  Engine Brake Switch on the dash that Josie didn't have. It is to be used when going down steep grades.  Like the one leaving Big Bone Lick Campground!  Drove to Oh Kentucky RV Park in Berea Kentucky.  Full Hookup so I could do laundry.  Did 4 loads Saturday in the nice stacked washer/dryer in Fredrick.  Another Big perk over Josie!!!  The rain started Saturday and it hasn't stopped...  We went to the Super Walmart across the Highway and got 2 weeks of groceries.

Sunday, still raining....  Got Fredrick all buttoned up and ready to travel.  While hooking the Jeep to tow, heard a loud clunking noise. Uh Oh.  That doesn't sound good.  Continued on to Standing Stone State Park in Hilham Tennessee.  We are now in Central Time Zone.  Feels like the time change in the Spring/Fall right now!  Confusing and tired!!!


Standing Stone has 38 sites.  Very small and filled with hills, curves and hardly any campers right now.  Couldn't find the check in station. We drove thru the camp and couldn't find site 20 that we had reserved online.  Thought we were in the wrong place.  Drove back out to the main road, unhooked the Jeep and called the office for directions.  We were in the right place and did not have to find the check in office since we had reserved online.  So back we went with me following Fredrick in the Jeep.  Still couldn't find site 20.  Not marked very well at all.  FINALLY found it by turning on a little road by the bath house.  You would think there would be a sign 20 with an arrow!  The site was not as level as we needed...  Greg finally decided to back in at an angle and he backed onto boards we laid out to bring the back end up so it would level. YAY!  Got it!  Greg hooked the electric/water while I put out the slides etc.  We then turned on the satellite.  Nope.  No signal.  Too many trees.  Ran the air TV for local channels.  Only 4 and none very interesting.  Gonna be a LONG week!  He then looked under the hood of Jeep to see if he could figure out the clunk noise.  Not really, but guessing water or power steering pump getting ready to go....  It's REALLY gonna be a long week.  We are in the middle of nowhere and are leery to drive the Jeep right now for fear of getting stranded.  Many places around here have no cell service, but luckily, there are 2 blips on my phone while at the campsite.  YAY.

Monday,
Another problem....  Raining still.  Now there is a wet spot on the carpet in the bedroom.  Water tricking down the corner. No ladder to caulk the outside seam, no caulk and too wet to caulk anyway....  Oh the joys of RV'ing...  Guess I am being a grump today.   Gotta take the good with the bad.  Bad outweighing the good today.....
