Minnesota bound

---

Hello from Bowling Green, KY. Started off the trip with a short drive on Friday to Lake Keowee near Seneca and Clemson, SC. Kicked back with two cousins relaxing by the lake in our RVs. Sunday I departed for TN. Had a nice drive in the mountians of North Georgia. Realized Saturday night that my scheduled stop for Sunday evening was about 30 minutes from Lynchburg, TN, home of the first distillery in the US - Jack Daniels.

Going to central time I was there in time to set up the RV, unhook the Jeep, drive over and catch the last tour of the day. I have several fun stops planned along the way, but this was one of those bonus stops where I discovered I was passing close by an attraction and had time to take it in.

I was unable to upload images from the iPad last night so I ended up not posting an entry. Looks like I can't do it from my laptop either. This is the first time I've used travelblog in over a year and they've made some major changes.

So I'll give you a few words about Monday and hopefully figure out how to upload images soon.

Monday was a VERY short drive to Bowling Green. Pulled into the campground, set up, and headed to the Corvette plant. Made the 11:30 tour. After the tour I went to the National Corvette Museum across the street. Then I explored downtown Bowling Green where they have a neat town square.

Tomorrow and Wednesday are driving days. I'll be in Madison, WI Wednesday when I drop anchor. Plan on being there for a few days. I was talking to my neighbors in the campground this evening and I may modify my itinerary slightly when I leave Madison. Stay tuned for that possible fun change of plans.

Well I managed to get some photos uploaded. Yippee! Hopefully I can also upload from my iPad, but if not I can always transfer to laptop and post.

Hope you enjoy this short update. That's all for tonight.

Thanks for checking in with me. Bruce and Chessy

Cave Spring
The water used at Jack Daniels comes from and underground aquifer and filters through limestone. This is the cave where it comes out.

This has to be the most unusual jacked up SUV I've ever seen - a Cadillac hearse made into...

They always have a couple of Corvettes on display in front of the plant.
