Friday, we continued our trek down Highway 127. Lots of sites getting ready for the big yard sale next weekend. In 7 Mile, OH Mary spotted the bear in the photo – makes you wonder if the wife is intimidating to everyone or just the carver. We got a good laugh out of it. South of Owenton, KY we stumbled onto an Amish store selling sandwiches and all sorts of other good stuff. We got lunch and ate out front while watching the steady stream of people. It was their first day and they were doing a great business. Food was good and inexpensive – just the way we like it. The sandwiches were so big that we used the leftovers for most of our supper.

Continuing down 127, we came to Cumberland Lake and the Wolf Creek Dam. The water is low because they are working on the dam. Crossing back into Tennessee, we were in Sargent York country – It was getting late and no place to stay so we decided to return for a day trip – it is only about 80 miles from home. We made a quick stop at the grocery store for essentials and arrived back home at 7:30pm.

Some trip facts: 4320 Miles traveled. We hit 12 states: Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. We also went into Ontario, Canada for a day. We enjoyed the entire trip and our little Sonata did very well averaging 29mpg for the entire trip. We WILL do this again but not this year – we’re glad to be back in Tennessee and plan to stay put for awhile. (But Jim did email me about a couple of fishing trips…..)
