We arrived at Carter Caves State Resort Park early in the afternoon. The place is really nice and quite empty. There are only about 5 or 6 other campers and none very close to us. Carter Caves was a second choice. We were originally planning on staying at Twin Knobs Campground in the Daniel Boone National Forest. But, at the time we were planning this trip, the Federal government was threatening shutdown and we got concerned about the campground being closed. So, I chose Carter Caves simply because it was close to equidistant from NY & Mo. As it turned out, Carter Caves was a good choice.
We got set up, leveled with power and water connected and awning reeled out. We had been towing Coors, so it wound up parked in front of Pumpkin. Later, we drove Coors to Grayson (nearest town of any size). Joyce wanted a DQ.
The DQ was a mistake. We decided to eat supper there and both ordered a shrimp basket. It took forever. When the order finally came out, I told them it was “to go” since we planned to eat outside on their picnic table. Already frustrated by the long time it took for the order, I got outside only to find they had not put any utensils or napkins in the boxes. I went back in to get some and none were in sight. I had to stand and wait quite a few minutes before I could get anyone’s attention. Finally, I got what I needed. When I went back out, the wind had picked up and it was getting chilly. To top it off, their coleslaw was crap. I don’t recommend the DQ in Grayson. But, we did get a mini-blizzard each and they were good.
