We left the RV Park and went straight to a super walmart. The 100 quart cooler is leaking water all over the carpet. We need one that doesn't leak. We stopped at Cracker Barrel to eat lunch. That'll be our big meal of the day. We are still on 70 heading east. Crossed the Mississippi River at 3:11 PM. Almost stopped at another casino, but Daddy couldn't. Find the exit!
We were in a slow traffic line outside of Carbondale, Illinois for quite some time and it is really hot outside-99 degrees with a heat index of 110 degrees. When it gets real hot like that and we don' t run the generator, we feel like smoked sardines in a tin can!!! This slow spell will put us back some on our time.
At 3:39 we saw the arches of St. Louis and the Mississippi River and the Illinois state line. At 4:21 PM the coach turned over to 20,000 miles! It's been a long drive! At 7:21 PM we crossed the Ohio River! We are doing so great! Now we are in Kentucky! At 10:03 PM we crossed into Tennessee, stopped to get gas in Clarksville. We were there for quite some time. the windshield was full of dead bugs and we had to fill up on diesel. Because we let the diesel run below one fourth of a tank, we can't run the generator for the AC. Good thing it is night time and starting to cool off some!!! At 10:43 we are passing Nashville, Tennessee. We are still driving on, not sure how far. Maybe we'll go on to Chattanooga. One of the windshield wipers just broke-time is 11:07PM. The rain is just a drizzle so it won't stop us. Actually, it isn't too bad driving at naught. There are basically only trucks on the highway.
