Moved North Of Knoxville

Knoxville, Tennessee

Weather: low 66 degrees in Crossville, Tennessee, high 82 degrees in Knoxville, Tennessee, partly cloudy skies

Yesterday as we were out and about, we saw a bird that caught our attention. Grabbing for the camera, I was about to snap a picture when the bird flew away. When we arrived home, we checked the book on birds that Scott and Chriselda gave us. Since we didn't get a picture, I went on the Internet and found this one. The bird is an American Goldfinch. Beautiful, and the first one we have seen. Thanks again to Scott and Chriselda for the book.

As often happens, we didn't decide whether to move today until we woke up and talked about it. Many times, we'll go with an impulse and move on. That's what happened this morning. We enjoyed our time in Crossville, but the wandering bug bit us again, so we moved on. At this time, we're parked in the Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park, located just north of Knoxville. We plan to be here for about a week, which should give us the time to see a lot of the area.

Today's move was one of the shorter ones we have done. It was only about 75 minutes of total driving, and we were parked and set up before lunchtime, even with the loss of an hour as we moved from the central time zone to the eastern time zone. After resting from that strenuous move, we went to lunch at Mickey D's. Then we went home and I set up the satellite dish and the rest of the day was spent recovering from a very tiring day. I'm kidding about it being very tiring. Every day should be this easy.

More later, be safe.
