After all our repairs were done on the 16th we settled into the Erie KOA which is just south of town on I79. This is a really nice park with level sites, 50A power, and some really nice property. There's a nice lake if I just turned around from where I took this picture. The movie on in the pavillion was "RV" with Robin Williams ... a must see for anyone thinking of this way of life.









On Thursday the 17th we left the Erie area and headed south toward West Virginia. Our plan was to head generally south following the mountains and maybe on Friday get to Knoxville and then head westerly. Thursday night we stopped at a KOA RV park in Flatwoods, West Virginia. This is a great facility with paved roads and pretty level sites. It was unusual that we had to register at the Days Hotel up on the hill before entering the park ... you can just see the top of the hotel in this picture. Really great place and as the hotel clerk said "It ain't level but it is the most level place in West Virginia!"






On Friday we made a decision to head more westerly rather than south because of weather and the hilly/curvy road toward Knoxville. So we then picked a course heading west from Charleston West Virginia, through Lexington, KY, and then down toward Cave City. After a 386 mile run and several rain showers we got to Cave City. Here's the Cave City park ... really nice! Our kind of RV park ... 50A power, level gravel sites with adjoining grass, and 35 foot wide sites. There's even a Cracker Barrel restaurant within sight of the place.






Tomorrow we are off toward Memphis and Little Rock and we'll see how the bus runs and how the weather is as to where we will stop. Right now the plan is to be home by Monday night, but we'll see how that plays out.
