On to Tennessee

Leaving camp today, we traveled northwest on a variety of rough and narrow roads through small townsp and finally onto I-26 to get onto I-40. We bypassed going back through Charlotte. But these little roads were stressful. Just after entering North Carolina, we stopped for lunch snd a nap. I-40 ran pretty smooth until going through the Smokey Mountains on the approach to Tennessee. The highway runs down a major river canyon and road construction is shoring up the riverbank, so all the west bound traffic was funneled into on lane that ran 10-35 mph for a very long way. The lane was narrow and very rough in places. We pulled into the KOA on the outskirts of Newport, TN about 4:30 after yet another shopping spree at Walmart. We also gassed up the motorhome for $2.35.9 per gallon, WOW ANOTHER RECORD LOW!Read more
