We left town about noon and spent the first night in Lolo MT. We then spent nights in Livingston MT, Buffalo WY, Cheyenne WY and then Denver CO. This was our first real stopping point as we wanted to visit with our niece Jodie Skaug and Jill's cousin Julie Watterson. We learned alot about RVing along the way and are feeling more like real travelers now! Had a great lunch with Jodie and her daughter Jessica and then a wonderful dinner with Julie and her kids and their families in Denver.

We then traveled through Kansas to our next goal, which was to see Steve's dad's birthplace,Phillipsburg Kansas
and were able to see that,and also made it to the
"Center of the Continuous 48 States". Harley is a great
travel dog, by the way....

Our next destination point was St. Louis/Kirkwood, MO. to see Amy, Andy, Zoe and Jackson. We found a great KOA campground just 15 miles from Kirkwood and made that our home for 10 days. We were able to see several soccer practices\games for Jackson and Zoe and toured Ranken Jorden--the hospital Amy works at. Also went to the St. Louis Zoo, the Arch, Grant's Farm and had the kids spend a few nites "camping" in the RV with us. Andy was a great sport to baby sit Harley several times, and we all had a great time just hanging out, eating out, and camping out.

We hated leaving St. Louis but were anxious to continue our journey. We then spent several nights at a State Park just outside Memphis, TN and went to Graceland, Historic Beale Street and got a good feel for the south along the Mississippi River.

Next stop, Nashville TN. where we again found a State Park and enjoyed another great wooded campsite. Stayed here two nights and ejoyed the area. We made it to Lynchburg TN and toured the Jack Daniels Distillery and were really impressed with all that goes on there.....no wonder they are so proud of their Whiskey!!

We headed on towards the next leg of our trip and traveled through the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee and into North Carolina. We are staying at an RV park at Lake Junaluska,N.C. The trees are just beginning to turn colors and are getting brighter as we travel east.
Sounds like a great adventure, and I am sure Harley is loving all the great woods. I am traveling vicariously through you...so keep those photos coming. JulieAnn
