After settling up our charges with the repair facility, we went and had some breakfast in town at the restaurant where we had dinner the night before. It is called The Hometown Restaurant and is a very nice, inexpensive family restaurant. By the time we got things ready to go and hit the road, it was 10:45 AM. So far, we have had the worst weather of anyplace we've traveled - here in Indiana. Monday was the huge storm, and yesterday, although mostly clear, was windy all day. With the high head winds we had traveling the whole way down the Interstate, we only averaged 7 MPG towing the fifth wheel. Not only that, the winds continued through the night last night. Here is a shot of our space at our campground in Greenfield, called the S & H Campground (No, they don't take the green stamps!):
One advantage to traveling this time of the year is that most campgrounds have tons of open sites so you don't need a reservation. We had our choice of probably 10 or 15 nice pull through sites here.
Today was suppose to be a long trip to Nashville, TN. That would have been nearly 300 miles for us and would mean that we would have to leave early and travel most of the day. Now that we are not in "rush mode", we decided to split the trip into 2 days and tonight we will stay in Elizabethtown, KY. That will be about 170 miles and allows us time to relax this morning and not worry about spending most of the day driving. Once we arrive in Nashville, we will spend a couple days there before heading to Campbellsville, KY, for our next job at Amazon.com. That will be approximately 130 miles and is a reasonable trip for our last day.
That's about it from Greenfield, so until tomorrow...
