Day #3 of Our Epic Trip

11-4-2023
Indian Mountain State Park, Jellico, Tennessee

We woke up to a beautiful sunrise and hit the road at 7:54am.

We stopped at a charging station in London, KY and took the dogs for a walk. When we put them back in the car, we stood next to the car and hugged with a couple smooches thrown in for good measure. A man drove by and told us to “Get a hotel room!” with a thumbs up. He was smiling and having fun with it and he made us laugh. It’s these types of interactions with people that we love!

We’re staying in Jellico, TN at Indian Mountain State Park. Driving through Jellico, we saw a Veteran’s Day Ceremony and they were raising money to buy flags for the graves of veterans. We stayed while they raised the flags and gave a donation. Daniel’s dad was in the Navy and Daniel’s son is currently in the Air Force. Our brother-in-law is a disabled veteran the Air Force.

We made it to our campsite which is right on a small lake and overlooks Appalachian hills. The weather is great – high of 64°F. We know it’s cold back in Michigan so we are so thankful for this nice weather.

We went to Knoxville to try out a vegan restaurant. We stopped at World’s Fair Park which was the site of the 1982 World’s Fair. It was a nice park with a man made pond and concert stage plus a playground and space for events. Then we went to a food hall where they have the only all vegan restaurant we could find in the area, Kianga’s Kitchen – Vegan Soul Food. We got takeout and went back to our campsite to eat by the lake. It was great food.
