Days 1-2-June 1-2, 2015-To Chattanooga, TN-Sunny hi 80’s
Day 1-Drove 285 miles in a little over 5 hours. Stopped in Cordele, GA, south of Atlanta for the night in a little old campground right off I-75. Not very nice but suited us just fine, we just stayed overnight and then got on the road the next morning.
Day 2-Drove 255 miles in 4-3/4 hours. Temp is in low 80’s. Traffic in Atlanta is a nightmare, lanes are narrow and drivers are crazy. Very white knuckled ride. Campground in Chattanooga has been voted one of the best 50 in the country and is really nice. It’s built on a Civil War battlefield and has monuments throughout the campground honoring battalions and soldiers that fought here. After we set up we drove a few miles to a gas station we found on gasbuddy.com that sells diesel for 40 cents less than all the other stations. We had enough fuel for about 50 more miles so we were really low and it paid to go there. Back to camp for dinner and then went to a AAA minor league baseball game-The Chattanooga Lookouts vs. The Tennessee Smokies. The Smokies smoked the hometown Lookouts 9-3 but it’s always fun.
