more rain Mon. Jan. 5, 2009

9 pm, raining and 60 degrees outside. We are at a corp park. Allatoona Lake, McKinney Campground. We had stopped at the welcome center just inside the Georgia border. We ask the lady in the center about going thru Atlanta. Wait 2 hours and then go on thru. OOPs 6 wheels and you could get a $500 fine if you go straight thru Atlanta. Hmmmm we have done so several times and not gotten caught. E. started talking to a trucker and he said he just got out a tupperware bowl, put his brain in it and drove right on thru, by-pass usually, once in a while right thur the city. Then he spotted an RV couple and ask them if they were going thru
Atlanta. Yes, but not tonight. We have a favorite place to stay. Soooooo
We are at their favorite spot also. Would love to have this same spot in the spriing or early fall. We have a view of the lake, thru the trees. Seems like a neat campground.
After supper we went over to visit a few minutes. 1 and 1/2 hours later we came home. Great couple, they do church work camping.

Back to last night. The trucks come into Freightliner Oasis/Dealer/repair shops almost as much as they do at a Flying J. Except last night one parked right next to the bedroom for about 45 minutes, motor running. 3 am.

We were in line by 7, after hunting all over the front underside of the coach our freindly
service man found the leak in our air pressure system. A cracked 1/2 inch brass tee. put on a new one
and we were on our way. late. This Freightliner service center was a great facility. Friendly,
the bays were extra clean, and Jerry's tool box was in ship shape. Pictures of his grand kids and
of his "racing lawn mowers" Decided he was a.o.k. He explained all to us and we recommend
this center if you ever have trouble in the Knoxville, TN., area.

The Atlanta TV station was saying, 'Yes, it is a lot of rain, but our lakes are down and these rains should help us out. Especially after the dry seasons we have had recently."

Talk to you later.
