As we were leaving Grayville City Park, I took a different route out. There was a sports complex we had passed coming in. Had we taken a turn in the middle of it, we would have shortened the trip in by quite a bit. So, we went out that way. Here's Joyce's version of the trek:
Next morning, I followed Pumpkin in the Jeep to level ground to make it easier to connect. As I followed Pumpkin, the road out of the park split. I watched as Tom seemed to have difficulty determining which of the roads to take. A slight hesitation, then veered off to the left…no, he’s turning right, and off the pavement. And I watched in horror as Pumpkin’s right rear tires sunk to the hub in soft mud.
A lot of tire spinning, a lot of smoke, a lot of mud flinging but Tom got ‘er out of there. And we were soon on our way. I was totally stressed as I watched the RV wallow in the mud. Later, Tom said he wasn't stressed at all.
My butt is still tight worrying about that damn Jeep tow bar dragging on every little incline.
I reckon it’s my job to worry. Tom doesn't seem to!
Well, I guess her version is pretty close to how it went.
We were shooting for Deam Lake SRA in Indiana tonight - just north of Louisville, Ky. But, another plan change. We wound up at General Butler State Resort Park in Kentucky near Carrollton. Actually, we wanted to go a bit further, but time caught up with us and so did the rain. Oh well, it is just an overnighter. It has been a beautiful drive in northern Kentucky, so far. We're taking the lesser roads (mostly state roads).
