Alaska 2015 - Days 2-3 Gaffney SC - Lynnville IN

Day 2 – 5-13-15 Wednesday We got the MH ready for the service to begin at 8AM. I talked with the technician before he took it into the bay and then we went to the customer waiting room. They have TV, recliners, couches, free coffee, free hot tea and free WiFi for the waiting customers. We decided to get some lunch before they finished so if they got done early enough we could leave Gaffney and be on our way. We went to Cracker Barrel and have a great lunch. When we got back the MH was ready. We hooked up the “Toad” (our Jeep) and left the service center at 12:55PM. We stopped at the last rest stop on I40 in North Carolina for a break then drove on into Knoxville, TN and stopped at a Sam's Club parking lot for the night. There was a Mall across the parking lot so we walked there and walked through the Mall but Lena didn't find anything she could live without so we came back to the MH and cooked supper. Then went to the Sam's Club and to get a roasted chicken for Thursday night's supper. The remainder of the evening was relaxing/reading.

Day 3 – 5-14-15 Thursday We departed Knoxville at 7:30AM EST after having breakfast. It was a pretty drive down I-75 in Kentucky. Kind of mountainous with lots of trees and rock walls up both side of the road in many places. We stopped for a break about 9:30AM at a truck stop/gas station and bought a couple of chocolate turnovers, then went back to the MH and made some coffee to go with the turnovers. Yummy!

I-75 and I-64 through the horse country of Kentucky was some of the best interstates we have driven on so far except for the section through Louisville where they were doing major construction even that didn't hold us up much. We stopped again for lunch at the Visitor's Center in Indiana. We arrived at Lynnville RV Park in Lynnville Indiana for the night at 1:30PM CST. We called earlier in the day and asked for a pull through so we would not have to unhook the toad. The site was laid out rather awkward but we managed to get the MH and toad on the site without unhooking but could not level the MH properly so we did not put all the slides out. But we will only be here one night. It looks like the campground is used mostly by locals that have their campers set up for the season so they can launch their boats in the lake at the end of the campground. We relaxed for awhile, walked down to the lake and talked to a lady that has just come back in from catching some bass. Then we ate our roasted chicken we got last night at Sam's Club for supper.
