October 18, 2014. Nice fall Saturday in Tennessee

CAMPGROUND: 3rd night at Piney Campground
LOCATION:  Land Between the Lakes on Tennessee/Kentucky border
WEATHER:  Cooler.  Mostly sunny. Highs in 60s

We awoke to a very pretty sunrise on the lake.

The sun was shining on the camper.


Today was slow-paced.  We biked on the trails around the campground, and enjoyed looking at other campers.  Almost everyone is outside, sitting around campfires.  Some campers have decorated for fall, with mums, pumpkins, and Halloween decor.  

In the afternoon, we drove to Murray, Kentucky, the largest city nearby.  We bought gas at $2.79/gallon.  The cheapest we have seen on this trip!

We went to a bar/cafe there to use internet.  Someone told us they serve good craft beers (not so much).  We couldn't believe it when we entered.....people were smoking!  The bar was filled with smoke.  We didn't think smoking was allowed in any bars anywhere, but guess not.  We escaped to the patio to breathe.

DINNER:  Stir-fried noodles.  I sautéed onions, scallions, garlic, and leftover grilled chicken in sesame oil.  I boiled up rice noodles, then added them to the chicken mix. Seasoned with ginger and soy sauce.  Good!

We enjoyed our Saturday tradition.....listened to Prairie Home Companion on NPR, and British comedies on PBS.
