APRIL 25 - WED., 2012

We spent the night at Cheatham Lake State Park in Tenn.(no WiFi) We started the day with a good breakfast which I made at our campsite in Alabama. It was a little windy on the road to Tenn. We were about 1/2 way there & all of a sudden we saw black smoke ahead on the road, and traffic came to a complete stop.Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances went blaring past us on the grass on the left side of the road. We were stopped there on the expressway for over 2 hrs.! We also saw medi-vac & news helicopters circling above. When we were finally able to move, we saw that it was a horrible accident. A truck cab was completely incinerated & what was a car, was a ball of steel. Had we been 5 min earlier --- all I can say is thank God! After seeing that, we had to go down a very hilly, winding road to get to our campsite. It was a "white knuckler" I really don't like roads like this in the RV, but it is the Tenn. hills. The park was very pretty. Our site was right along the lake. I didn't get much sleep because I kept thinking that we have to go back up that hilly, windy road. Richard doesn't get nervous, but I do!
