Our motto for this trip has been “Slow and Easy.” And that motto has taken on a life of its own. We have definitely slowed down and are both enjoying the less hectic pace that we usually get into.
The drive to Volunteer Park was only 78 miles and we were settled in our camp site by 1:30 pm. It has been raining fairly heavily off and on for the last three days and today was no exception.
We spent the afternoon planning the next two days events and unfortunately discovered that the bus tour of the WW II secret town of Oak Ridge and the factory where the Manhattan Project was developed doesn’t start until June 1. Oh well, we’ll tour the American Museum of Science and Energy and read through the exhibits re: the Manhattan Project instead.
During breaks in the rain we walked Jewel for some exercise. So far we haven’t gotten into our usual daily hikes. This area of the country is so different from our normal travels. More cities and less country. We know that will change when we get to the Natchez Trace Trail Parkway next week. Another “SLOW” day on the road.
