June 4, 2008 - Bristol, TN

Don't forget to check out our itinerary at:
 
 
Today the weather was nearly tropical, with near record highs for this time of year. This would, of course, be the day that the cab air conditioning (run off of the engine) chose to give out. With windows wide open, we had a leisurely (but hot) drive in the Bounder through East Tennessee, arriving near Bristol, TN around 5:30pm at Rocky Top Campground, owned by our old friends Sue & Joe. They've owned the park for just a little more than 2 years, and they've done wonders here. We visited soon after they took over, and we knew then that they had their work cut of for themselves... but now, two years later, the fruits of their labors are evident. It's a beautiful place!

Tomorrow we'll see if we can find anyone who'd like to work on the a/c; but if not, we're not too worried... YET! When we get to the Southwest and the desert - that'll be the time to be concerned.

More to come - before we head out toward Shenandoah National Park in Virginia on Friday.

Hi Guys:

Love the blog but as Dave said...more pictures.
Trying to leave a comment so hope this works today.
Hope you get the a/c fixed really soon. It's also hot here in Wisconsin and will be hitting 90 with more rain tomorrow. Nicole's graduation party is Sunday so hope it clears by then.

Bye for now. enjoy and be safe!!
