And We're Off!







Leaving our home base in Loganville, GA, on Monday morning, October 1. 








Arrived at Meriwether Lewis Campground in Hohenwald, Tennessee on Monday evening. This campground along the Natchez Trace Parkway corridor is free, primitive, and available on a first come, first serve basis. There are clean, well maintained toilets, but the campground does not offer electricity, showers, or dump station. The setting, however, is beautiful and quiet. We stayed for one night in a pull thru site with plenty of room.  (GPS: 35.5225, - 87.456)




Our traveling cats (all three of them) are quite content on the highway in our truck, but they especially like looking out of the windows of our Airstream once we are settled into our campsite.



After traveling most of the day, Oct. 2, and spending a night in a Walmart parking lot somewhere in Missouri, we arrived at Lamar City Park in Lamar, Missouri. This is a 56 acre park maintained immaculately by the city of Lamar, with walking paths, playgrounds, streams, athletic fields, as well as an RV park at the west end.

Fun facts: Lamar's first constable (sheriff) was wild west lawman, Wyatt Earp. It was Earp's first job in law. But Lamar's most notable native son is President Harry S. Truman.

Leaving Yellowstone National Park

Leaving YNP was an adventure. There was snow and some ice on the ground, but there was no indication that any of the roads through the park were closed or particularly hazardous. I checked the YNP and the Wyoming DOT websites, and no road closings noted. In hindsight, I should have called the park hotline as well. Turns out that the south exit was indeed closed. After a 50 miles or so trip from north to south, we had to turn the rig around (quite the challenge) and back track some miles to find the west exit into Utah. Just thankful we made it safely out of the snow and ice. The truck really came through for us. Here is a VIDEO LINK of our drive through Yellowstone up to the point where we had to turn around.
