Trip to Boise: Gainesville to Crossville

It's been a long time since my last post. The knee surgery and physical therapy finally behind me, we pulled out from LMEA Longhollow Campground in Gainesville, GA, at about 11 AM on Sunday, July 25.

This trip to Boise should take us about a month. I planned the trip to take full advantage of our Coast to Coast campground membership - $10 a night for 7 or 14 days, depending on whether the campground is Classic or Deluxe. We plan to stay in Boise about a month, then head back to Longhollow for a while. Can't beat the camping rates there ($0.00!).

After a beautiful drive up US 127 north of Chattanooga averaging about 8 mpg, we arrived at our first Coast to Coast Classic campground: Breckenridge Lake RV Resort south of Crossville, TN. We will be here seven days. The campground is well-kept and off the beaten path. Our campground hostess is a fountain of knowledge about the area. Our friendly neighbors are an inspiration. He is 88 and she is 93, and they are still out here RVing.

Since this campground has only 30 amp service, we have to watch what we turn on. Switching the hot water heater and refrigerator over to gas only and shutting off everything else allows us to run the washer/dryer and the big air conditioner at the same time without tripping the breaker.
