We couldn't figure out why our GPS was saying that it took almost eight hours to get from the edge of Tennessee to South Carolina. When you look at them on a map, they look so close! At about 9 o'clock on Monday night, we figured out why it takes just that many hours to get there.
There is no real high way between Tennessee and the Carolinas. There is only this winding two lane road that twists through the Smoky Mountains for miles and miles. When you are on the road, the tree covered mountains tower on either side of you, and the bends in the road are 90 degree angles. Trucks bust down this road doing 70 mph, but thankfully, Bobby was nice and cautious. Not that I don't have total faith in the RV, but when you see signs warning that there is a hill with a 7% grade (are we supposed to know what that means??) coming up and pictures of trucks at a steep angle on the yellow roadsigns, one tends to get a little nervous. This road was like five hours on a Dollywood ride. Lol.
Aside from the awesome places we are visiting, driving in the RV and camping all over the place has been such an awesome experience. I tried taking pictures of the roads we are traveling and the campsites, but it just doesn't do the scenery justice. I think that even when we are back home, we will make camping at KOAs a habit. It's a great mini-vacation, to just get away from the TV and mail and the mundane. I'll post some more pictures of just funny things we've been doing and things we've seen.
