One the road report - Day one and two

I found a size 12 Gold wedding ring today!

Day one on the way to Bean Blossom:
377 uneventful but scenic miles from Homosassa to Montgomery Alabama.  We spent the night at Gunter Hills Army Corps of Engineer (COE) campground East of town.  Very nice campground with 130 sites and another 150 under construction.  We were one of only six campers there Monday night.
They have boat docks and a nice playground for kids.  The shower house was squeaky clean and was air conditioned.  Not bad for $10 per night with electric and water hookup.

Day two - Montgomery AL to Nashville TN.
Not a bad drive - we found diesel fuel for 3.59 near the campground and topped off with 50 gallons.  We left a bit early and were able to miss the bad weather moving towards the area.  We discovered the worse paved road ever.  The concrete I-65 through Birmingham beat poor Ms Connie to death bouncing up and down.  I guess that's one of the hazards of being well endowed.  She finally held a pillow to herself to control the motion.
The rest of the ride was pleasant with light traffic until we got into Nashville.
We are staying at another COE campground - Seven Points.  We've stayed here before but today was a bonus.  We have driven into the most ideal weather I could hope for.  The wind is out of the North, the humidity is very low and it is cool with no AC needed even at the peak of the afternoon.

We grilled burgers and had a nice salad for supper.  I sat outside and picked banjo for about an hour.  Lots of folks walking by to see who was ruining the bluegrass music (I guess).  Anyway - no other players were lured over so I put it away to update this blog.

We got in contact with family in Nashville and will hook up with them tomorrow evening (poor working stiffs eh!).  Connie wants to tour the area quilt stores tomorrow and I am pleased to accommodate her.

We will stay here through Thursday before moving on to Bean Blossom IN.


Oh yeah - about the ring.  I lost my wedding ring early in April when coming home from a bluegrass festival.  I was sure I put it some where in the camper or in the house but despite searching high and low, no ring.  Connie hated to see me without one so she bought me an early father's day present of a replacement ring.  This morning when I was getting my wallet off of a high shelf in the RV, I heard what sounded like a coin sliding.  I reached up to see what denomination it was and to my complete amazement, a ring appeared.  Too cool!  Connie is happy, I am relieved and life is good.  She confiscated the replacement ring and considered the morning a complete success.

Thanks for reading and we will update tomorrow with the mischief we get into over the day.

Take care.
Ron and Connie.
