Our plan was to stay at Mammoth Cave National Park, but when we got there we found they did not offer electricity. When I rechecked the website, sure enough, they did not offer electricity. As it was still early, we decided to head on down to Barren River Lake about 50 miles south. We saw several deer and a beautifully antlered stag on the way out of Mammoth Park. Ditto made sure they didn't get us. Along the way toward Barren Lake, I noticed Pumpkin was leaking transmission fluid. We stopped at an auto parts store and I got some fluid and topped it off. Then we headed on. I got a bit concerned because I had failed to get enough fluid for a reserve so we stopped at a Walmart and I bought some more.
Our plan now was to camp at The Narrows Campground but somehow we missed it. Now it was beginning to get dark. The next place was Bailey's Point Campground off Hwy 252. I saw Hwy 252 and made the turn. Unfortunately, the highway made a loop around the west side of the lake and I should have gone on and made the turn at the other end. So, we wound up seeing a lot of Kentucky countryside. Eventually, we found Bailey's Point and crashed for the night. It rain hard.
The next morning I checked the transmission fluid and all was okay. We headed on to Land-Between-The-Lakes.
