Road Again

After being here for a week it is time to move again. We have had a great time here this week watching the gospel groups perform. We also saw some of our friends from West Virginia. The Jude family (Brenda,Mike and Melbourne).
Brendas mom (Jean)and sister(Sharon( were also there.
We will see them again in October when we go to our church reunion.

Freedom Hall

Well the time came for us to go to the National Quartet Convention. This event is held in Freedom Hall in Louisville,Kentucky each year. Last night was the awards ceremony in which the fans favorite won top honors. It is always crowded on this night with thousands of gospel music fans from all over the USA in attendance.

Inside

Once inside,like everyone else we had to find our seats. Of course the ushers would help yoy if you couldn't find your seat.

To Much Rain

It rained all day yesterday. With all the rain it started leaking somewhere in the front of the motorhome on drivers side. Now this is not a good thing.
We went to Stinnet RV over the river in Indiana. They have a Camping World Store there. I bought a couple tubes of rubber caulking for the roof. Now to get on the roof and find where it might be leaking in and put on the caulking.

After a restful night at the Flyingj we had breakfast and got ready to travel. I waited about 20 minutes for the lane to clear out so I could fill up the propane tank. I called into the station and they said that someone would be out to fill the propane tank. When the guy came out he said something was wrong with the hose and could'nt fill the tank. So off we went. We usually stay in the Grandma's RV Park we didn't make reservations so heres hoping. They said that they had a site for 4 nights after that he didn't know. After some talking he said he would find some way to keep me. By the time I got set up and went back to talk to him he said I could stay on that site for the week. It rained in the afternoon and is still pouring rain today.

Still Raining

Its 12:30 pm and still pouring the rain,with thunder and lightning. Not a good day for getting out.

Well it did stop raining so we got in the car to see what we could find. As we were driving down the road we saw a sign that said Bernhiem Forest. So we had to look. We found this little lake with a walking trail round it. Nice walk. They had it landscape nice with flowers,shrubbery and trees.

The lake also had a stage and elavated lawn with large boulders to sit on.

We had another good day.

Off for Louisville

After a good night in Richmond we walked a little this morning and of course had to go in Walmart to get a few things. We took off for Louisville. We stopped at a rest area on I-64 had lunch and another little walk.
We got as far as Waddy;KY stopped at the Flyingj to fill up with gas at $2.23 a gallon. No need to go any farther so we will spend the night here.

Richmond,Ky

This morning we spend some time running around and going out to see what Holley Bay in the Daniel Boone National Forest looked like. Nancy needed to pick something up at Kmart so after that we where on the road once again.
We drove up I-75 to a rest area where we pulled in and cranked up the sat. dish so Nancy could watch her soaps. We got as far as Richmond and again spending the night in the WalMart parking lot.

Thursday

Thursday we got up and after breakfast we took our showers and was on the road again. After another short drive we stopped in London,Ky. We went out to Levi Jackson State Park to send the day. We walked quite a bit then just lazied the day away. While out there Nancy fixed a pot of pintos and corn bread. That was good eating. After we ate we came back in town and spent the night a the WalMart.
