Wednesday we woke up early as we had to be at the ball diamonds by 9am. My granddaughter was playing soft ball with a traveling team and they cover a good portion of the midwest. This week they were playing in Nashville, TN. The complex is quite large and has 11 diamonds, most, if not all are lighted and with scoreboards. A very nice facility. They had two games, won the first game and lost the second one. They were to play two games on Thursday as well.
They certainly have improved since I saw them about a year ago. They are much quicker throwing the ball as well as hitting and fielding.
Thursday we woke up and turned on the weather radio as it looked stormy. It had stormed some during the night but was not raining at the time. The forecast was for storms with wind and lightning before noon, so we decided to try to get out before it hit. Well, as usual, we had just got on I40 and headed east when it caught up with us. It rained quite hard and blew and lightninged, but there was no where to pull off, so we just slowed down and moved with the traffic flow, about 35 to 40 mph until it let up. after about 20 minutes or so it looked better and the wind had settled down a bit, so we kept moving east until we got to Lebanon, TN and we got off of I40 and picked up US 70. A nice road, 4 lane in some areas and a nice 2 lane in others. Apparently the storm and proceeded us as we saw limbs down, some into power lines and areas where the ground was covered with green leaves, possibly from some hail that went through. We are in Crossville, TN at the Walmart where we got gas at $230.9.
The photos are of a unit that came in later. It is a Liberty Coach looks about a 40 footer pulling a big Hummer and a nice box utility trailer. Quite a long rig. I can see why they stay at Walmart as there are very few places they can get into without unhooking the Hummer. In a campground, they would probably have to get 2 spaces to put all of the rig in. Tomorrow, it is off to Knoxville to set up for a Hamfest on Saturday.
