First stop west: Lake Barkley, Kentucky


While we were in Nashville, we kept trying to decide what route to take when we headed west.  Should we go across the southern route through Arkansas and Oklahoma?  Or should we go a more northern route through Iowa and South Dakota?  We decided to travel the northern route because we wanted to go through Iowa where Cory's family lived.

One of the benefits of full-timing is you can take your time traveling.  Our first day west we only traveled less than 3 hours stopping at a Corp of Engineers campground on Lake Barkley in Grand Rivers, Kentucky.

The park had just a few full hookup sites but because we were there in the middle of the week, we were able to get a beautiful site facing the lake.




We did get our 10,000 steps in every day, but what we really enjoyed just sitting and watching the river.





Lake Barkley was a nice start to our adventure west!
