Driving Through Kentucky.....

We left at 7:30 AM this morning, after a surprisingly good sleep in a busy truck stop. With the AC running and a little black fan that we always run at night for white noise, Sparky never heard a thing and slept like a rock...Eldy, almost as well...

Kentucky is a beautiful state...Sparky loves seeing the old barns in the fields once again, the hilly pastures, the little calves running around as we drive past the fields and farms.....The rig windows need washing, or Sparky would have tried to get some photos as we were driving today...So many different varieties of trees as green as green can be....Makes one glad we are not in a drought area like Texas, or in a wildfire prone area that has been hit. It's as green and lush with all colors of green as far as you can possibly see.......

We crossed over the bridge over the Ohio River and entered IN...Jeffersonville, IN is where Sparky had her second teaching job, in a little three room schoolhouse, that was specifically for the local population of special education students. They kept them separate from the rest of the school population at that time. Sparky remembers many of them were from low income families, and they didn't have much. Sparky remembers that the head teacher of our little group of teachers used to paddle the kids when they didn't behave, and she had to be a witness several times to paddlings. That was quite the experience for a second year teacher. It was very uncomfortable for Sparky to go through that.

We had about 400+ miles to do today...Piece of cake for Eldy after that 752 mile drive the day before...Except for driving through some BAD storms as we approached IN. The temperature dropped from the high eighties to the sixties in a matter of minutes....A VERY refreshing change to us!

And here we are at the Elkhart Campground---YAY!

It's a beautiful campground....Twenty-five acres, wooded, pull through level sites, full hookups, plenty of 50 amp sites, many  have cable, however, the back row of the campground where we are (#743) does not, showers, dump station, mini golf, tennis court, basketball court, meeting hall, and a small pool and playground. Some sites are out in the open with no shade, others are surrounded by wonderful shady trees. Great location, just off the Indiana toll road, easy access to all the RV factories and suppliers, with plenty of shopping nearby. Sparky can't wait to visit all her favorites--Jojo's Pretzels, Lolly's Fabrics, Shipshewanna, Amish country, the Heritage Trail and Quilt Gardens and the flea market, and much, much more.....But first, it's off the the doctor this afternoon to try and get some answers.....

See you later.....
