Days #8-9 of Our Epic Trip

11-9-2023
R and R RV Campground, Dunlap, Tennessee

Daniel went up the mountain to use the jack hammer on a few more of the big rocks on the road before we had to return the jack hammer to the equipment rental store. After returning it, we stopped at a super charger and then Petsmart. Peter hasn’t been eating well so I wanted to get him some canned food (Natural Balance Vegetarian is actually vegan). He’s very sensitive and tends to get upset easily so I think he’s just struggling with leaving Grandpa and Grandma’s house. He also isn’t fond of riding in the car so the drive to Tennessee was probably hard on him.

We both had to do some “work” stuff. I need to renew my audiology license and Daniel is reviewing material for the exam to become board certified in lifestyle medicine. While we are both retired from clinical practice, I will be doing some consulting work and Daniel wants to continue giving presentations on the benefits of a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet. He has been approached by a national group to discuss the benefits of WFPB with corporations.

We decided to end our day with a trip up to our property. I checked out our waterfalls since it rained last night. They are flowing better but they are still just trickling. Daniel checked the function of our well and ran the water for a while using the battery in the Tesla. Then we walked to Yellow Cliff where there is an excellent view of the valley. We plan on going to Yellow Cliff a lot when we live here since it’s just up the road from our property. We also finally got to see the valley after dark with the lights of Dunlap twinkling.
