46 miles to Chimney Rock RV Park, Burgin, Kentucky
The sweet song of the red-winged blackbird accompanied us on our trip today through the rolling hills of Kentucky Bluegrass country.  It was a nice ride and we managed to finish before the rains started again.  It’s sweet to be in Kentucky for the Kentucky Derby.  The campground we are in is having a rousing all-day celebration with mint juleps and a good old-fashioned barbecue.  We said goodbye to Don and Bronnie this morning and hope to see them again later in the summer.  We also started the third series of maps which will get us to Murphysboro, Illinois.

All of Don’s tutoring has paid off.  We noticed another water leak after Bob set up the camper.  Bob was able to use his new multi-screwdriver tool and look behind the panel under the stove.  He discovered a leak and was able to tighten it up.  Now, he just has to buy some 3M self-fusing rubber electrical tape and seal up the connection.  Another trip to the hardware store.   Who knew having a camper would lead to so many new handy, dandy skills.
