Made the drive yesterday from Cambridge, Ohio to Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Since it would have been our longest drive, we split the drive up 3 ways, Dave took the first leg west into Columbus and started south on Interstate 71. Stopped just south of Ctown to gas up and I took over. In rain. South I71 into Cincinnati and then continued on into Louisville, Kentucky. Talk about construction! Ohio has never seen the likes of what we saw in Louisville. Terrible. Seems the entire city's interstate is torn up. Major work.
And it was till raining - my entire time at the wheel was rain. Continued on through Louisville dropping south towards Nashville. However, about 40 miles north of Elizabethtown we switched driving, stopped to tank up again, and Dave navigated into the campground. We started on the road at 9:10am and pulled in here at 3:05pm. Not bad, 326 miles later. No issues with RV or car other than they got so totally dirty with road scum.
We were assigned our site and came over to it, could not for the life of us get the RV level. You have to have the RV level in order for the refrigerator to work. Major concern. I went back up to the office and asked for any other sites - yes, down in the 'holler' there are 2 back in sites we could choose from. Okay, pulled the RV and car over and down behind the pool area - in no man's land, backed into the first site - nope, we were too long and stuck out. So Dave pulled over the the next one and said - go for it. Muddy, yucky. Oh well, bad weather coming in so we just hooked up water and electric, tried to get it as level as possible. Dave got full of mud from hooking up. Came inside and thought - what a terrible place! Then, to make matters worse - during the night there were two dogs just yapping away. Grrrrr. Terrible storm came in, and for once I was glad we were in holler due to the high winds, we were sheltered.
This morning we asked the office if there weren't any other sites we could go to? Gave us 2 more to check out, and since we would have to fill our propane tank within the next couple of weeks - stopped and had it topped off. Pulled into the first site and decided to go with it, we did a first.
We normally just press a button and the jacks come down, level side to side, front to back and voalla! The green light comes on to say we are level. Again, couldn't get it level so I suggested we do it manually - which meant I push the buttons on the direction I want - raised the front left jacks a bit, then the right, then dropped the back left to right. We are semi-level but stable and set solid.
Got a couple of things to see here, bad weather was here all day - we have a tornado watch going on till late tonight so it is just as well we stayed close. Next couple of day's weather looks great and will head out to do some sightseeing.
