Yesterday w

Cumberland Gap National Park

Yesterday we didn't want to get to Cumberland Gap National Park early. We wanted to give the weekend campers time to move out.
I stopped at the Walmart in Middlesboro to fill up with fuel.  From there it was to the park.  I pulled up to check in and the park host says I can walk through the park to find a campsite and then register.  I told him I wanted to find a site where I can get a satellite signal. He said lots of luck!  After looking I got a site that looked like it might work.  I have a phone app that has the satellite locations I use and it looked as though I had a narrow opening between the trees. After signing in we drove to the site I hooked up the electric raised the satellite dish to see if I had a signal. Nope,so backed up about one foot and there was the clear shot,I got the signal. We have satellite tv and a cell phone signal,so all is good. 
 By that time we where hungry so Nancy got us some food to eat. 

After the sun went down we took a walk around the park.  We saw this small opossum crossing the road.

The little fella stopped for a pose so I would get a good shot of him.

We are in a campground and see this sign that says "no overnight camping"?  It was actully no camping at the pavillion.

Taking the trail out to the amphitheater.

The amphitheater.  We where at this park 10 years ago and we can see some of the improvements that have been made.
Thanks for coming this way and do come back.

It all works out

Vicki came over yesterday to spend some time with us before we left Lexington. We had a nice little visit,she brought  Rebekah with her. Rebekah had some of her drawings with her. She is a great artist.
We left Lexington around 1:30.

Traveling south on I-75 we saw what each area had to offer.

I was going to use the dump station in London,but I missed the exit. No problem I'll just get off at the Corbin exit and come back. The next exit was 10 miles down te highway. There was a Loves Truck Stop with a dump station so I will use their's. I used this dump station a few years back. Uh oh it is now $5.00 to dump. Well just bite the bullet,besides it will be cheaper than going back to the free dump.  But I was going to stay at the Walmart in London.  Still not a problem will will stay at the Walmart here in Corbin where we have stayed before. Uh oh again,no overnight signs are posted now. No problem we'll go down to Barboursville to another Walmart 14 down the road and I called they do allow overnighting.
So we get on the Cumberland Gap Highway with my trusty GPS showing me the way to Walmart. Down to Barboursville the little lady in the box says right turn. I am now in the small town. The little lady in the box say recalculating,this is never a good thing when she says that. So after getting back on the main road and going anothe 1/2 mile she says arriving at Walmart. Nancy and I look around,but we don't see a Walmart.  It looks like on to the next town. Well wouldn't you know it after another 1/2 mile there's the Walmart. The little lady in the little box and I are going to have a little talk.

This Walmart is one of the small ones not a Supercenter. It is part of a small strip mall,but it will do.     

Time Again

Delivering your product in style.  Just remember if you buy Red Buck Cigars you are paying for this big bus.

Yesterday after getting ready we went into Walmart to do a little shopping for a few things.  By the time we were through Vicki called that she was at Krogers getting the things she needed for spaghetti.  After putting our groceries up in the motorhome we headed over to Vicki's house.  After a few hours of visiting and Vicki preparing dinner it was time to eat.  She had spaghetti,salad and garlic bread all of which was a very good dinner.  Nancy brought some spaghetti home with her. So I think I know what we will be having for dinner today.
It is time again to be moving on down I-75 to London,Kentucky.  This will be another slow moving time today as we will spend the night at the London Walmart.
Thanks for stopping by this way.   I wish you a great day.

UK Wildcat Country

Yesterday we left Jackies house in the late after noon. We drove west on I-64 which is a nice drive with the rolling hills and green fields.
We where going to stop for a bite to eat,but there isn't a rest area between Morehead and Lexington. So after entering Lexington and the Walmart parking lot we had a sandwich.  A short time later a nice heavy rain came pouring down.  We had a nice peaceful night here with a couple of other motorhomes also staying the night.  This Walmart that is just off Winchester Road on Grey Lag street allows overnight parking.
Vicki and Kathryn came over and spent a couple of hours with us.  Today Vicki is making spaghetti for dinner.  I'm sure Nancy will enjoy it as it is one of her favorite dishes.
Nancy's blood pressure is still running 173/83.  The large dosage of meds is not bringing it down as fast as we were hoping it would.  Maybe in the next couple of days it will be better. 

Moving out

Nancy got the result from her ultrasound yesterday and the doctor said it showed everything normal. He increased her blood pressure medicine and told her to keep a check on her blood pressure.  He also told her if nothing changes told see her doctor when we get back to Florida. 
So with that we will be moving on today. We have enjoyed our time here visiting with Jackie and family.
We will stay a couple of days in Lexington,Kentucky visiting our daughter Vicki before traveling slow as we go on south.
Thanks for stopping by.

Appointment

Yesterday we took our time getting ready since Nancy's doctor appointment wasn't until 3:30 pm.  I did clean some on the outside of the motorhome and put wheel dressing on the tires to make them look better.
We left early for Nancy's appointment in hopes that the doctor would see her early.  As it turned out she was able to see him early.  Her blood pressure is still up so the doctor is going to up her meds some more. I asked the doctor if it could be her kidneys causing her blood pressure to be up so much. He said it was possible,so he had her to go to the hospital for an ultrasound of the kidneys.  We are to call around noon for the result.
We have to go into Morehead to do the laundry again today.  So if the doctor wants Nancy to come in we will already be there.  Just a wait and see situation again.  We may have to cut our summer plans short in order to go back to Florida to get Nancy's problem corrected.
Thanks for stopping by.  Have yourself a great day.   

Still Here

After a busy week for us it was good to hang around the motorhome yesterday.  I gave the motorhome a much needed wash job. It looks so clean and ready to hit the road again.  Of course we find find out about that when Nancy talks to the doctor tomorrow.  Her blood pressure is up somewhat so she has to get that under control. 
Nothing else is new with us.
Thanks for stopping by.

2 busy days

Thursday
                Thursday was our weekly shopping day with Jackie.  We first went to Walmart for some of the groceries. Then from there it was our break time when we go and have our dinner.  This time it was to the Ponderosa Steakhouse for their special price buffet. As always when we have a buffet we over eat.  Then it was our next stop at Krogers for more shopping.  Some folks can do all their shopping in one store but we can't.  I would rather buy my meats somewhere besides Walmart.  After the big day of shopping we just relaxed the rest of the evening.

Friday
          O'boy yesterday what a day.  I told you about Nancy's medication a couple of days ago and what a time we had trying to get it filled without any luck.  Well thursday I got a message on the phone that Walmart in Huntington had the medicine for Nancy ready for pickup. What???  It was the fax that the Walmart sent to the doctor's office in Florida,the one that the lady at the front desk said that Nancy would have to come in and see the doctor before they could get her a refill.  The doctor must have saw the fax later and told them to go ahead and fill the prescription.
So it was back to Huntington for another 200 mile round trip.  It was worth it though for Nancy to have her pain medication.  We met with Peach and Don also for dinner and another nice visit. 
Thanks for dropping in and reading the blog. 
I hope you have a great day.    

Empty the tank

Yesterday was the part of camping or living in a motorhome that is not so enjoyable.  That is having to empty the black. You get use to it though.
So after sitting for over another week it was time again to raise the jacks,take out all the blocks from under the motorhome and take off to the dump.

We arrived at the Twin Knobs Recreation Area some 15-20 minutes later.  Pulling up to the kiosk I told the lady I needed to use the dump station.  She told me it was $6.00. I gave her the money and she said have fun with a laugh. I said sure.  It didn't take long to empty and clean out the tank good.
We were back at Jackies and set up in a short time.
Thanks for dropping by this way and do come back again.
I wish you a great day.

What a day

Yesterday we went to Huntington,WV in hopes of getting Nancy's pain medicine that we couldn't get transfered into Kentucky.  Long story short,it didn't happen. I can't understand some of the personel that Docotrs have working in their office. Somehow traveling between states we have lost all the refills on Nancys pain medication. The simple thing to do is call the docotr to get a new prescription. The Walmart in Huntington called the docotr office in Port Richey,Florida to get the doctor to ok the medicine refill. But whoever answers the phone tells them that Nancy would have to come in to see the doctor.  Yeah sure we will just jump in the car and drive 900 plus miles to see the doctor and then drive right back to West Virginia. I think I will be having a little talk with the doctor when we get back to Florida. I'm no blaming the doctor,its his staff that doesn't let him know when a patient of his calls.
The day wasn't wasted though.  We meet Peach and Don for dinner and had a nice couple of hours with them.
I want to thank you so much for stopping by the blog.
I wish you a great day.
