Heading South

 

Below is a shot of the Port Huron KOA site.

 

 

After we left the park in Port Huron we went down to Mt Clemens to the hospital to get Jo-Anne her allergy shot. To do that we parked the bus in the Walmart parking lot, unhooked the car, and went to get the shot, came back, and then hooked back up and motored south through Detroit.

After Toledo we sought out Highway 23 to the southward toward Columbus Ohio. Just north of Columbus is a very nice park called Cross Roads RV park in Delaware after about a 220 mile day. I didn't get a picture but the pull thru was a nice gravel one at the end of the road and we spent a nice, quiet nite there.

After the Columbus area the next morning we headed south again on 23 and stopped at Portsmouth at a nice rest stop just north of town. Then along 52 towards Maysville along the Ohio River. Below is the bridge across the Ohio at Maysville. Yike.

The cars you see almost take up the whole width. What about our big 9 foot wide bus? We did meet a truck about half way across and VERY slowly passed each other without touching ... touching is bad when passing by each other.

After a really nice drive down 65 toward the Horse Cave area of Kentucky we pulled off the interstate to go into the KOA. Hah. Missed the sign and went down the little road to nowhere where we came to the end and had to turn around.

Thanks to a local motorist on the tiny road and Jo-Anne who had to get out and make sure the big tires stayed on the pavement in the rural U-Turn we made it back to the KOA.

Just after turning around in the farmer's cornfield we saw this tobacco drying  barn. This is about where Jo got back onto the bus and was reminiscent of times past for the Kentucky tobacco industry.

We then arrived at the Horse Cave KOA. We really had some bad premonitions about this place as it wasn't very well rated. And we were told there wouldn't be any sewer hookup ... man. But when we got there, for our $30 we were offered a pull thru with the view below.

And with the setting sun on the beloved CENTRAL time zone off the porch ... it was pretty nice.

Off to Nashville the next day.
