Trish and I are in the Amazing Race across half of America, averaging 130 miles a day to Louisiana, so we stopped and tried to find two Amazing Race participants,   Mark & Bopper from Manchester ,Kentucky, neither was home at the time, we did meet Bopper's father and girlfriend, they said to try on the way home, so we just might! We are sitting in a campground when the longest 5th wheel we ever seen sets up beside us, I joked to the lady and said you must have two bathrooms in that, she said no, but she did have a washer & dryer in the bathroom, Trish asked her if a maid & butler came with it, she again said no, but she did have central vac,  then the lady pressed the buttons for the five pop-outs and automatic leveling, I waved my right arm and said this was my automatic leveler.
Stopped at a flea market on the Country Music highway, the owner gave us a mat for the camper, because we mentioned Hank Snow,  it seems Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, Dwight Yokum & Hylo something or other who was bluegrass all lived along here!
Remember our Story about the Peach man dying in Georgia, so no peaches, well the campground man died in Clay County, so we drove 15 miles back in the hills to find no Friday night banjos or cold beer as advertised,  we were right up there with the moonshiners, meth labs and grow ops, we found out the next day!  Remember we said we invented the acronym IE, stands for Illegal Electricity, we ended up getting some that night, couldn't find anyone to pay and no drop box!
