FINALLY!!!! When Phil's chiropractor told him he thought he'd be fine to go on his trip, and that his back was 75% well, we started gathering the things we had brought home six weeks ago from the camper and the things from the freezer and frig, loaded the bikes, and headed to the campground where our camper is stored. We spent the night in the camper. It was so hot yesterday in Townsend. Just taking the bags of stuff to the truck and then loading them in the camper was exhausting, and we were both dripping sweat. In the evening Phil loaded the bikes on the ladder rack. We are taking our truck rack, too, in case we want to ride bikes on a bike trail somewhere other than the campgrounds. We were going to try to get off by 10:00, but we left around 11:00 and headed for Clarksville, TN (very close to Kentucky border). That was around 250 miles and a good test for Phil's back. He did fine, but has some numbness. We saw one wreck and drove through a corker of a thunderstorm (actually two). We also had a corker of a thunderstorm at 5:30 a.m. (thus, we overslept). Anyway, it is good to be in Clarksville. I may even take a swim in the pool after supper. Phil said he wants to try to make Columbia, MO, tomorrow. It is further, so we will see. The photo is one I took from Big Meadow Campground last night. God is good and has blessed us this day!
