We made it to the KOA in Nashville, TN. It was a tense drive getting through Nashville with all the road changes and wind, but we made it in one piece. The CRV had spent too much time in “towed” mode, and so the battery was dead. The workers at the KOA were kind enough to get our Propane tank filled, and to give me a jump for the CRV.
This KOA Kampground is pretty nice. You can search YouTube for “KOA Nashville” and you’ll find some video of when the place was flooded out a couple years ago. No sign of any problem at the campground, but the local mall is still closed. The Grande Ole Opry stuff is all back up and running though, and the Gaylord Opryland is where the Invensys event was being held.
Overall the campground was nice for us. Not crowded at all due to the time of year. The only “issue” we really had was with the showers. For whatever reason, they use one of the outdoor beach type shower heads. These are the kind that just spray a big stream at you, and you cannot move them at all. And, they were pointed right out of the shower into the changing area. I had soaked shoes the first day before figuring this out.
As a post visit update… We got to eat at some new restaurants, although they are chains. We’ve now experienced a Waffle House, as well as Bob Evans. Thanks to Naomi B. for the great dinner at Bob Evans. We’ll be back there for some breakfast goodies soon… Hold the Avocado.
Very soon, I’ll get Diane on here to share about the visits she and Molly made to the state capital and an Elephant sanctuary.
