Days #6-7 of Our Epic Trip

11-7-2023
R and R RV Campground, Dunlap, Tennessee

We decided to have a relaxing day at the camper and to finish setting up our campsite since we’ll be here until December. We have a 8×8 foot canopy with sides where we keep cooking appliances, our clothes washer and dish washer. I did laundry this morning and Daniel got the canopy set up and functional. It’s warm today so we put on some shorts and walked on a road next to the campground as recommended by the campground owner, Tim. There was a nice horse farm with beautiful views of the mountains.

After dinner, we watched a scary movie and then remembered that we left a doggie poo bag on the road during our walk. So… it’s pitch black (which is great because we can see a lot of stars) and Daniel wants to go get the poo bag. Daniel walked ahead of me because he knew I’d be freaked out walking in the dark in an unknown place. Ya’ll, I heard breathing right behind me. And then, Daniel wanted to turn the flashlights off to see the stars better. I noped out in pure Fudge fashion (Fudge was our dog who was a big baby) and hightailed it back to our camper.

We went to Chattanooga, TN to rent a jack hammer. There are some big rocks on the dirt road leading to our property and Daniel wanted to see how easy it would be to flatten them. Turns out, it was pretty easy. In my opinion, Daniel looked darn sexy handling that jack hammer.

We also got a mailbox. Getting mail when you travel full time is something we’ve had to finagle. There are mail companies which will give you a legit address (needed for residency) and send you your mail when you request it. Some even scan a picture of the mail for you just like USPS does. We’ve decided to have our mail forwarded to Michigan to Kristin’s parent’s house. They will send us our mail when we are in a place long enough to receive it.

After Daniel pulverized some rocks, we went to our property and checked on the two waterfalls that are on our property. Both are still running but they are more of a trickle probably because this area has had a drought. The lower waterfall is about 30 feet tall and there is a flat area with a view of the valley where I would like to put a patio. We are in love with this property and just love exploring it.
