6/1/17 - Sleeping was a little rough since there was only a small ditch and fence between me and the busy freeway but I did get some sleep.  I got up around 8am and because it is easier to get started, I was on the road by 8 45am.  I had great traveling with hardly any traffic like yesterday until I got to Atlanta and then there was an accident so it took a while to get through all of that.  I then had fair traveling since it seemed there was more traffic.  I drove only an hour and half before I decided I needed to stop for gas.  I then put some potato chips in a bowl and set the bowl on top of my step stool so I could munch a little since I did not want to stop yet for lunch.  Well, then the rest stop came up a little to early as well but it would be a long time for the next rest stop since it was 138 miles but I wasn't hungry because of my munchies.  So I decided to give it a try.  A couple of times, I had to brake a little harder than I wanted too because some guy was on the side of the road and then pulled out a head of me and there was plenty of space but all of a sudden he put on his hazard flashers and almost totally stopped.  Wow, I was OK but sure was upset with him.  He went about 30 miles an hour but did pull off at the next exit!!  I then did get to the rest stop about 2 30pm and there was a nice area to park under the trees so I did waste about an hour since I felt I would be getting to Walmart too early.  Then on my way to Walmart in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia the road was a little hilly so that took more effort to stop although it really was not a problem.  I drove the 4 miles off the freeway and got my self situated where I was going to park for the night, when I looked up and directly in front of me was a sign that stated on truck or overnight parking!!  I do not recall any signs at the other end of Walmart and I almost drove over there and parked anyway, but I had mapped out a Walmart in Chattanooga,Tennessee as well and it was only 20 minutes farther.  My book had stated it was RV friendly and that is very true.  There was 4 of us here but two left again so there is two of us for the night but quite a few trucks are here.  I need to back track, the traffic on the 24 out of Chattanooga was horrible because the right lane was blocked and because I had taken so long at the rest stop, I was now in rush hour traffic!!  Well, I finally got to the Walmart at 5pm instead of 3 30pm at the Walmart in Georgia.  But I am safe and it is much quieter here although I do have a truck across the way, that will be running all the time he is here but still better than all that freeway traffic.

Oh, almost forgot the picture of my injured Winnie
