TRAVEL DAY
From: Paris Landing/Kentucky Lake KOA Holiday Campground, Buchanan, TN.
To: Singing Hills RV Park and Campground, Cave City, Kentucky.
Day 382 – At 8 a.m. it was 47 degrees out and partly cloudy, no wind. We departed the KOA Campground at 10:20 a.m. We drove northeast from the campground and some of the trip was in Tennessee; some of it was in Kentucky (KY).
Day 198 – Rob has THE COLD. It’s not bad yet, but I know what’s coming. It’s finally stopped raining and warmed up. This morning there were 3 horses eating grass right outside our RV. There’s usually a bunch of horses in the field nearby but somehow there was an inventive horse that let his friends out through the gate. Worried that they might scatter farther and get hurt, Rob called the campground owner & told him. Eventually the owner meandered out and tried to lead the stubborn animals back to their own grassy fields. They wanted no part of it. He shrugged his shoulders and gave up.

Day 197 – Beginning of Week 29. Feeling just a little more energetic today, finally. Pam was still quite sick, confined to bed, cancelling work. We drove to Bowling Green and visited the Half Price Bookstore Outlet, picking up some more inexpensive books. Bowling Green is a large city, but nice, with rolling hills. Because it’s farther south again, the trees and bushes were greening & getting their flowers. The grass is green. Pretty. Plenty of farmland. Horse country, too, with the picket fences. We like Kentucky.
Day 196 – I slept in and meanwhile Mr. Fix It had been busy. I got up to find furnace parts all over the kitchen floor. Yep, the original thermostat that had been misbehaving was still not working properly and it was cold inside. Rob replaced it with the new part we had bought in Louisville. Unfortunately that didn’t solve the problem, so we were on to Plan B. He’d done a lot of research on the internet followed by opening up the furnace to see if he would be able to troubleshoot the problem further. Turned out to be very difficult to access the components without completely removing the furnace from the RV. But the symptoms seemed to indicate that the controller board was not working properly. Rob found one on Amazon that could be delivered to an Amazon Locker in Nashville, TN the next day, so he went ahead and ordered it.
CH-CH-CH-CHANGES. Part 3, Really?
Day 195 – THE COLD is not getting better. I feel awful today, have lost my voice & have a dry hacking cough. Woke up this morning to lousy weather, heavy rain and wind. A storm front was moving in and snow, sleet, and freezing rain were expected throughout today and tomorrow, beginning near us & becoming particularly bad southeast of us right over the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky, where we were travelling to today. Somewhere I’ve heard that “plans are made for changing” and evidently that’s true. We’ve changed our plans yet again and have decided to head south beyond the icy weather pattern to Bowling Green, KY. There was a Half Price Bookstore Outlet there after all.
