We had a great visit with Lee. We had no problem with the campground having been there most recently last Spring. We finally got to see his home and his incredible collection of guitars, banjos and mandolins

There are many more in a large closet behind Lee

 After dinner we returned to the coach and prepared for a 4 hour drive the next day with some reading time and a reasonable night’s sleep.

We have 5 days to get to our reservations on the Mississippi River and decided to stop for 2 nights in Louisville KY because we had not been there yet. The campground, Louisville North, is in Clarksville IN just across the river from the city. One approach goes through an underpass with a 10 foot clearance. Their instructions took us in another way. As I applied the brakes on the off ramp I heard an ominous  scraping noise from the front of the coach. Last Spring we had clipped a diverter barrel and broken the connection to the generator exhaust pipe that extends just clear of the  body under the driver. I had it repaired at Colton RV in Buffalo NY (North Tonawanda to be precise). Apparently they used a leather strap for part of the connection. It broke. The people at Louisville North have a mechanic available and he is supposed to come by today to repair it again. 

We have extended our stay another night so we can get in to Louisville on  Monday and get on to Nashville for two nights then on to Memphis. 

Waiting for yet another shoe to fall, this 2012 coach is getting old, the odometer reads 99899.9.
