We had a leisurely morning at our lovely lake spot, then hit the road, heading for Mike’s sisters place in Kentucky, which is about 3.5 hours drive away. It was a smooth run for most of it. We went through one small town where a guy was driving a ute wearing a full-face balaclava in the heat, and that freaked me out a bit. Especially since not much earlier we had an amber alert come through on our phones (kidnapping). Most of the time, America seems safe, until you see something like that.

The rest of the drive was pretty cruisey. It’s very hot and humid, but we’re used it to it now. We arrived at the camping place in Greensburg. It’s just a few RV spots on the side of the road with some permanents living here. We’d stayed here once before and had no problem.

Then we went to visit Ro, Mike’s sister. She was having lunch when we got there, but she seems to be doing ok considering the extent of her Parkinsons. She has to have around the clock care, which her three daughters take turns doing. We sat and chatted for a couple of hours, then headed back to set up camp, with a small detour via MacDonalds.

Our neighbours at the camp brought us a key and showed us the shower and toilet, which were locked away in a building. It was weird. She told us how her support dog was with someone else and the guy she was with was her support “human”. I didn’t want to ask what had happened to her dog and it all seemed odd. She also said they sometimes get people driving around doing crazy stuff around there. If anyone bothers us to knock on their door. If anyone is bothering us, I won’t be getting out of the van!And now I was worried about crazies visiting in the night when I wasn’t before!
