Day 68 – Travel Day – Newport TN to Raleigh NC – 315 miles
After 7500 miles in the RV and another 1500 miles in the Tracker, we are finally home in Raleigh. Today was an easier day. We took our time over coffee and packing up in Newport and headed out at 9am. The first hour was just beautiful, driving through the Smoky Mtns. That is today's photo. The weather was lovely, and Bill maneuvered the curvy roads well.
We even made it down the 5 mile/6% grade east of Ashville with no problems. We made some rest stops and had lunch, making it to the RV storage place at 4pm. We packed up refrigerator items and just the bare essentials and came on home to the apartment.
Our cars had been towed to another section of the complex, and both have dead batteries which is not surprising. After settling in, Bill went to pick up the mail and get some Qdoba Mexican gumbo for dinner. We are both wiped out and have spent the evening watching mindless TV.
It was an awesome trip, and I will try and get more photos uploaded this week.
