After a five-month hiatus, we got back on the road with a rather lengthy (for us) trip from Cumming, GA (no more ties to that place) all the way to Clarksville, TN. We made the 297.9 miles (77,045.2 total) in just under six hours. It might have been luck or just great planning that got us through both Chattanooga and Nashville with very few traffic slowdowns.
I never got around to cleaning the radiator, so I had to closely watch the engine temperature as we climbed Monteagle. The five miles of 6 percent uphill grade pushed the temp up to 210 degrees, but no alarms sounded, so we were good. At the top, we stopped in a rest area to let the engine cool off a bit and grab a bite of lunch. It felt like the entire day went well, so I think we didn't lose too much of our traveling mojo during our time off.
I think Sam was relieved to be back on the road again away from all the air compressors and carpet layers and paint odors! He is a traveling dog through and through.
Our realtor, Tricia, gave us a very generous closing gift - Big Green Egg Mini. The next day in the Clarksville RV Park we saw this in a neighbors site.
David noticed this clever cat screened in patio cut into the side of a five-er.
