This morning we woke up to a torrential rainstorm! It was
nice being “warm and dry” when it was very wet outside the camper. (And also in
the car where I had left the windows open a crack) Fortunately, I had
reconnected the towing mirrors and set the hitch up on the car before going to
bed. When we were in the various states of the desert, rain was not in our
vocabulary! After a leisurely breakfast, it was time to break camp. We dug out
our Bean boot,s which hadn’t been used since we left Washington State, took out
our rain jackets and hats and Kevin’s rain pants. You would think that we had
been doing this for a long time with our preparations! Before leaving the
campground, we drained our tanks and headed out in the rain. It was nice
driving on the Natchez Trace with hardly any traffic rather than being on an
interstate. We arrived at David Crockett State Park around noon and set up
quickly before the rain caught up to us. There is another SP called Davey
Crockett Birthplace near Johnson City, TN. We took advantage of being close to
a town (Lawrenceburg) to take care of laundry and grocery shopping for the next
few days. When you look around the campground and see the very short sights,
you will understand that this campground was set up in 1959, long before
campers were often 40+ feet long. Our 19’ camper fit very nicely into our
sight. We even took advantage of the senior discount! (We’ll take ever discount
offered!) We will spend the next couple days just chillin in place before we
head east for the final leg.
