journeyacrossamerica: March 30th

Welcome to our journey

This is a record of our road trip adventure as we take our first forage into the states with the truck camper and novice camper Daisy Doodle. The plan is to leave tomorrow, the 26th, and spend the first night with good friends inPort Stanley then accross the border at Detroit the next day. From there to the south! Far enough Rob says to remove the long underwear and put on the sandals! After we get a couple of days of relaxation it will be making our leasurely way to California
and up the west coast to Vancouver Island for the middle of May for the anticipated birth of a new granddaughter!

March 30th

Sorry to be off line for the last couple of days...had a little technical trouble with the lap top but after pressing keys and going places I've never been in the workings I think I have finally solved the problem...here's hoping!
The day before last we made it to Renfro Valley, Kentucky. The birds were really singing and so many different kinds. The daffadils, cherry blossoms and even dandelions were flowering ... plus a jaunty purple plumage on trees... not sure but it sure looks lovely going down the highway. Rob still wouldn't part with his longjohns. It was nice and sunny but still a little "fresh".
Last night we spent in a sketchy trailer park east of Rockwood, Tenn. on Hwy 40. It had been a really nice KOA but that must have been a few years back. It was raining but quite mild.
We spent yesterday doing a scenic drive off the main highway on a 2 laner going through scenic hills of the Daniel Boone National Forest, taking in the countryside. Very nice!
Daisy is getting better... she is starting to tolerate the camper and will get up herself without us having to force her!
We have just arrived at a KOA in Nashville.....HOW-DEE! It is quite cool right now and sort of rainy. I had talked Rob out of the longjohns this morning but I suspect he has snuck them back on!
