Tennessee and Georgia

On Thursday, October 16 we brought our RV back to Lebanon, TN for service at National Indoor RV Centers. We had hoped they could get several items fixed but they didn’t start working on it until Tuesday; the only thing they could accomplish was changing the fuel filters. They looked into the aquahot system not working when the generator was on and said it was working fine. Sure enough when we picked up the RV it was working. 🤷‍♀️
We spent 10 days with Kevin’s mom in Brentwood, 3 of those days we stayed at Tracy and Erwin’s house dog sitting Jager. Jager and Pepper got along well enough; basically they ignored each other. Kevin’s nephew, Jonathon, came into town for a wedding and we were able to see him for a few hours.
We departed Brentwood on Saturday, Oct. 25 and went to an RV park close to Lynchburg, TN. On Sunday we took a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery and learned the difference between bourbon and whiskey, which is that whiskey has an extra step in the production process. Jack Daniels filters the whiskey through sugar maple charcoal that is charred at the distillery and they use whiskey to start the fire. The location of the plant is by a spring feed well that runs through limestone, resulting in iron free water, a key ingredient in making the whiskey. This is the same well that Jack Daniels used in 1866 when he opened the distillery. We learned a lot about the man Jack Daniels and about the art of whiskey distilling.
We made 2 one night stops in Georgia; the first in Adairsville, GA at an RV park and the second in Pitts, GA at a Harvest Host - Oliver Farm Artisan Oils. We didn’t unhook the car from either place and left early the next morning from both locations. Both days the drive were cloudy and cold, with rain on the first day and temperatures in the mid-50’s. While at Oliver Farm we bought cold pressed pecan oil, mango homemade soap and a mini tree ornament as a souvenir.Read more
