Default 7 days 3 set-ups and tear downs & 1k miiles

hit the road last sat for mybe the biggest adventure so for for us in a tm.
out if east tn thru the cumberland gap heading to I-75 north, first day was about 250 miles, had resv. at the kentucky horse park state park, for a one night stay over
(it is the only state park in ky that will let you do a one night weekend resv.)
very nice park will stop back in for sure,and the other side of interstate from park is THE RED STATE BBQ not fancy,but well worth the trip.
up sun morning and tear down and on the road by 9.30 for another 200 miles to north west of dayton OH.to ELDORA speedway, was there for the nascar truck race on the dirt. 4 days at the track boondocking , kinda, no hookups meet friends from ST. LOUIS there for fun at the track,
up thur morning tear down, move east to after the race, to lake loramie state park, i would rate this place a high 8 at least, very nice place and close to town for supply's,
then back up on sat morning in the rain tear down and pack up and hit the road, 450 miles back home ,and all this was done with a granddaughter who turned 4 today with us i had forgot the little people need to stop and pee ever 45 min.!!!
i do have to say the prep work done on the tm was well worth it, it preformed grt, towed well , and was a proud owner, and did give a couple of tours of it over the week.
have added a link to the last park we stayed at, it is that nice, so i wanted to share, but get a resv early it was busy this week

mb
funny you ask,
did notice that with the water mod. and moving the over-flow/vent. the fresh water tank drains slower , for what that is worth.
and did have a good chuckle, was on a dead-end loop at the cg. well just pulled down and backed in, short tight turn, but as we know with the set back axle, makes it better, some of the large tt and monster 5 wheels had to back 1/4 mile down the road to be able to get into sites,
and when my friend talks about mpg, he gets mad at me, yea I rub it in.

What campground are you at, where you are camped right by the water? Is that the Horse Park State Park?

wb3
that was at lake loramie sp just outside of minster ohio,
I would say about a 1/3 of the sites are on the water. it is part of the river,lake ,canal system in the state,
was talking to one of the locals. there are two other parks in the area that are set up the same way, he also stated they are as clean and well kept as this one is
