Another excellent adventure wrapped up today. Drove through torrential rain to get to Kentucky. Stopped at Patty’s 1880’s Restaurant for a catfish late lunch then set up camp again at Energy Lake Campground, Land Between the Lakes. We got the same site that we stayed at last year when we ended our Banff sojourn. Tomorrow we return summer home to Greenback and start the process of scrubbing, cleaning and unpacking our faithful camper and truck.
