Friday – Leaving Red Bay

On Friday, we packed up the motorhome, cleaned the windshield, dumped the waste tanks, and did the laundry in preparation to leave the Red Bay Campground and be on the road for a few days.

It turned out to be somewhat eventful. On Thursday, we thought we had two more dealers to contact for prices. We made contact with one, and planned to call the other on Friday. However, on Friday, we were contacted by two additional dealers. Dickey-Stout RV out of Amarillo had made delivery of a new Bus in the campground and heard about us, so he made a contact. Another dealer in Memphis contacted me over the Tiffin Forum. We talked to both and let them make us a proposal. We expect to hear prices from these dealers via email in the next couple of days.

We finally left about 1:00pm, and headed toward Chattanooga, TN. Along the way, we stopped at the “Lost Luggage” store called Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, AL. They had a lot of stuff, but nothing that we needed. To us, it was a lot like a large garage sale……….. other people’s used stuff!! Here’s a picture of the store:

We made it to Chattanooga at about 7:30pm……….. and found out that it was 8:30pm due to the fact that we had just crossed into the Eastern time zone! We gassed up the motorhome and car at a Sam’s and drove down the interstate to a Walmart, and spent the night on the parking lot. It was a nice quiet night.
