Day 171, Wednesday, April 19, 2017, Townsend KOA

Site 70

Wednesday, April 19, 2017, Townsend KOA, 107 miles, 7,599.1 Miles For the Trip

Another damp night, although the rain held off while I packed up the trailer & for most of the drive to Townsend. Most of the drive was on TN 68 & US 411. I stopped at a Walmart & picked up some stuff, then crossed into the Eastern time zone, reaching the Townsend KOA around 1:00. I set up in site 70, a water & electric site for $42.46 per night (No one ever said KOA's are cheap!)

I sat under the awning in a light rain and read for a bit, then made a run to the local IGA to see what they had in the way of blueberry pie supplies. No specials on blueberries, so it will probably be frozen ones. I hope they have enough for two pies, otherwise I'll need to go out of Townsend to get them. The last time I drove to Pigeon Forge, it took a couple of hours. It isn't that far, but the traffic is horrendous. I'll worry about that on Friday.

Back at the trailer I wandered around saying hello to a bunch of other early arrivals, then fired up the grill to make dinner.

Dinner was a grilled chicken thigh, pinto beans & rice, and asparagus. A thunderstorm passed through while I was cooking dinner, but the wind wasn't bad enough that I had to take in the awning.

Until tomorrow -
