get outta bed, sleepy-head...it's 8:00 and we're finishing up the packing of the trailer, then a shave and shower and maybe i'll feel like new? we finally got away about 10:30 am, north carolina time. we are driving most of the way from nc to ca on interstate-40, but we like to drive the scenic route from the house to newport, tn; that means taking hwy. 25/70 over the top and into tennessee. today we got as far as hurricane mills, tn and are staying at the buffalo river koa, just off of i-40. now, guys, when i say that add an extra 20% to the time traveling, it is true and factual. i calculated that it would take 6 to 7 hours to get to the buffalo koa, but it took us 8.5 hours because we stopped four times. once at camping world (you gotta see this place!), then a lunch stop, then a stop at the little blessings quilt shop in crossville, tn, then a gas stop. it's a good thing we don't have to be anywhere, anytime soon. but, in all seriousness, it was a fun day and we are all settled into the trailer for the evening. happy dreams...
