We started the day by going to the Jack Daniel's distillery. It was an hour tour, and it really was very interesting. They have beautiful grounds & visitor center. We came back to our "dinky little" campsite & hooked up the trailer & got on our way toward Ky. First we turned the wrong way out of the campsite & had to go a way to turn around (just can't turn around an RV pulling a trailer anywhere) the we stopped for gas & the turn to leave the pump was too sharp to make & the RV can't back up with the trailer attached, so I had to back my car off the trailer & Richard had to unhook the trailer so he could back up the RV. When we got back on the road, we decided to take a back road instead of the interstate to avoid Nashville, which was so congested coming down. Well the road had construction with a detour which took us into a neighborhood with a bridge we would not be able to fit under. Luckily we saw a police car & the policeman was very nice & even drew us a map with a short cut to get back on the road. We started down Rt 13 in Tn & oh my goodness it was so hilly & winding ! Richard took it in stride & did great, but I was scared stiff! Also it was already 3:30 & we had no campsite reservation, & we were in the back hills of TN. I looked in all of our books & saw that Loretta Lynn's ranch had an RV park & we were about 1 hour away, so I called & wouldn't you know it - the RV park was closed until April 1! Luckily they told us of another campsite not far from them. So that is where we are now. It's a nice campsite in Camden, TN right by the river. What an adventure today was! (The picture of us is with a statue of Jack Daniels, the one of me is outside the visitor's center & the one of Richard is inside)
