Changing Neighborhoods

Today's spotty tracking

Yesterday, Monday, we left Bitner's RV Park and moved on to our kids' place just outside Niota.  We should only be in TN about 9 more days, and we will definitely sleep better out here away from the logging and other  trucks rattling down highway 68.
We've stayed here a few times before, and had forgotten just how quiet it is.  The road noise along 68 was not that bad after dark, and even quieter late at night, but it's so quiet out here it takes a while to get used to it.
Of course, Monday was the day we needed to move or have to pay another months' rent, and it was wet and rainy.. almost all day.  Especially when we were outside loading things up.  And, of course, after getting soaked to the skin, the rain slowed and stopped after we had finally gotten parked and set up.
Today, Tuesday, dawned clear and cool.  Coolest temperatures I think we've had since we invaded Tennessee.  People are saying the hottest part of summer is over, and hopefully they're right.
Jacque had a therapy session in nearby Athens this morning so much of our day involved that and shopping and traveling back and forth.  The nice weather warmed up quite a bit as the fog burned off as the day wore on, and I thought I'd try to take the trike for a ride later in the evening, as the sun was setting.
I rode the narrow paved single lane road towards metropolitan Niota, the nearest hamlet.  If you've never heard of Niota, few Tennessee residents seem to have heard of it either.  Population 718, it's a quaint little burg with the oldest pre-Civil War railroad depot in the state of Tennessee.  The rail depot now serves as the Niota City Hall.  Since the roads in this rural neighborhood are so quiet and relatively low-traffic, I just took off from the kiddos' place without having to haul the trike somewhere safer first.  I didn't get very far but I got some good aerobic heavy breathing with the little hills here.  I made it almost all the way to Niota before deciding I should turn around to avoid having to ride in the dark.
