Waiting for Isaac

Did he get stuck in that slide?!

Today was supposed to be a short day driving. Ha. We had hoped to find another small town local restaurant for breakfast. With that aim, we set our course on Google maps and away we went...down residential streets with low wires and one lane country roads. Neither of which make for easy rv driving.  We did finally arrive at our destination only to find the restaurant closed. Of course, then we had to make our way back to the main roads. We pulled out the trusty atlas for that. 

Today really was just a driving day. We crossed Tennessee via Chattanooga so we could cross into Georgia. We were in Georgia for exactly....wait for it...four minutes before we crossed back into Tennesee.  That was a hoot. It will also add one more state to our count which will bring us to 25 states we will have traveled through by our journey's end.

We broke away from our usual campsites tonight and are staying at Anchor Down RV resort in Dandridge, TN.  Very fancy. It is on Lake Douglas with the Smoky Mountains in the back. They have lots of amenities such as the above pictured pool, a beach with swimming area including big floats to play on, a boat landing, the much desired laundry facilities,  a pet park, tennis courts, and a camp store.  They also rent golf carts so people are constantly zipping around.  Even the showers are amazing. There are individual  bathrooms and the showers are free.  Our site has a big fireplace on it which seem to be highly coveted. We made good use of it.  It was a  beautiful night. As we were sitting around the fire we first saw fireworks in the distance and then a storm with lightning flashing in the clouds and  illuminating them. The moon was practically full and it was big and yellow in the sky.  The moon and the storm made quite a sight.
