Day 63 - Georgetown, KY

This was the day we chose to head for home.  Four things shaped the decision ...  (1) We've pretty much fulfilled our trip goals, (2) national parks are closed, (3) rain is forecast for the next few days, and (4) we decided to do any unfinished exploring in a Spring 2014 trip.

Leaving Nashville Shores:
We were connected and on the road by 10:15.
Such a nice morning view


The Route:
We drove 278 miles in sunshine and overcast.  We chose some scenic routes, interstate highways and back roads.  It was fun.

I-40E carried us out of Nashville to Lebanon, we then took US-231N to Bransford, US-31E into Kentucky to Glasgow, KY-90 northwest to Cave City, I-65N to Elizabethtown, the Blue Ridge Pkwy to Lexington, and finally I-75N to Georgetown.

Highlights:
  • Tobacco in the fields and on wagons
  • Changing leaf colors
  • Kentucky horse farms (and white fences)



The Campground:
Whispering Hills RV Park is 3 years old.  It's very clean, has excellent utilities (electric, water and sewer) and has a number of very nice amenities.  The staff is friendly and helpful.  Unfortunately, the sites are very narrow.

What's next?:
We're about 60 miles from Cincinnati and about 3½ hours towing from Columbus.  We should get home with our "rolling home" by early tomorrow afternoon.  This gives us time to unload before forecasted rain arrives on Wednesday.
