Along the Way East

Uneventful continues. We got to Tom Sawyer RV Park right on the Mississippi River on Saturday. We had been moving every day since leaving Redlands. Four days without a break is rare for us but none of the places we stopped were conducive to staying one more minute than necessary to get on with it. Tom Sawyer was more than conducive. We had no sooner put the level jacks down than we looked at each other and said “ONE MORE DAY” Called the office and they said we would have to move to a new section they had just reopened to stay another night. Oh well! we retracted the jacks and moved to a new site. It was a bit awkward as it was set up for a trailer with a  rear window. We chose to pull in with our windshield facing the river which meant pulling our utility connectors under the coach. Done! 

I would estimate we were no more than 50 or 60 feet from the river. The sound of the tugboats pushing large strings of barges against the current was powerful. We hardly heard it at night as we slept. It was great to have a day with nothing on our agenda other than a weekly zoom gathering with family. Delicious down time.

Today we headed for  Harvest host winery Del Monaco in Baxter Tennessee. Met some newby RVers in the parking lot and went on in to try the wine. Bought some whites and a pseudo Port. The reds were not up to what we are carrying with us. 

Tomorrow is a 4 hour run to a Boondockers Welcome location in Rural Retreat Virginia. This maybe be the only type of venue that does not require a 14 day quarantine stop. It is a half mile dirt track which has plenty of parking and at present no racing. After that we have less than 4 hours to family! 

Next post should be from our pad in Covesville VA on the Dan and Malena family micro farm.
