Making our way back to Alabama.

We unhooked from the repair shop umbilical cord about 8:45 but then had to wait to dump. We were full of grey and black water and we wanted a good weight on the coach. Our appointment to be weighed was at 9:30 and we thought we would be late, but we got there dead on time. It took the guy about 5-10 minutes to get our weight. Surprisingly we were in real good shape. We were either just a bit over or under at all 4 points. I honestly thought we would be way over on the drivers side. The man said we shouldn't try and move anything, in fact we could add weight if we wanted, Mo took this to mean she could go right out shopping! We hooked up the car and hit the road, we wanted to get to "GrandMa's Campground" about 30 miles south of Louisville, KY and get set up before the Auburn game at 6pm. The route we took, the best one, was state hwy for the first 125 miles and it took us through some small towns. That's really the most scenic way if you have the time and we did. Well these roads are well traveled by RV's and semis so we made good time, until we got to a town called 'Napanee'. The route showed us turning onto hwy 6 in town. We had fallen behind a 5th wheel travel trailer and as we approached town we spotted a trooper stopping traffic and directing them right or left. He motioned for the travel trailer to go left and we followed . As we turned we could see that there was a fair in town so we were being routed around town center. That was OK, but the TT turned right at the next turn and, like a Lemming, we followed, right into a subdivision/apartment complex! Luckily, Mo had the computer on and tuned in so we wound around and found our way out. In doing so we ended up right at the edge of the fair with people walking in the street with kids and pets. We creeped slowly through with dagger looks from the town folks, a lot of them Amish. Jeeezz, some people just can't take a joke! We just smiled and waved. Eventually Mo got us out of there safely, only a few low branches scrubbed the roof, no cars or people. We have no idea what ever happened to the TT! After that it was a good road, and though it was a long day of driving, it was a pretty easy day. We drove straight through and made it to the campground at 4:30,  plenty of time to get a pot of chili going, set up the rig, drink a beer and wait for the game. WAR EAGLE !!
Tomorrow, after a good nights sleep and a good hot shower, we'll head for Campbellville KY to interview and tour the Amazon plant for employment next Christmas season.
Post ya then.....
