Day 19. General Butler St Park, Carrollton, KY


Day 19:  General Butler St. Park in Holladay, TN
We drove from Geneva on the Lake, Ohio to General Butler St. Park in Carrollton, KY.  PA was pretty flat, and we went around Cleveland, but  through Columbus and Cincinnati before we got into KY.  Kentucky is actually a very beautiful state with mountains and rolling hills lined with beautiful forests.   Jo Ann spent most of the night rolling around in her sleeping bag, trying without success to get comfortable. She was not looking forward to a second night out.  We got into the General Butler Park at about 5:30 pm and the Park office was closed.  We found a site and dropped our payment in a locked box.  This was a very nice camp and our site was comfy and located near a well-equipped shower house.  We set up camp in under an hour, and we had time to change clothes and shower before going out for dinner.  We drove about 2 miles to get to the Nopal restaurant, where we enjoyed a great Mexican meal served by an all-Mexican staff.  I had grilled salmon with a side of crabmeat enchilada, rice, and salad for $11.  Jo Ann had a crabmeat chichimanga.  We both enjoyed 12 ounce mango margaritas for $2.50.  Can’t beat that!  After dinner we went to a nearby McDonald’s where we had coffee and desert and availed ourselved of their free internet. We came back to camp and slept like babies.  We got up at 730 and were on the road by 845.  We had a simple Egg McMuffin and coffee breakfast, gassed up, and stopped at an Autozone to get a ratchet bit to tighten up a nut on the trailer.
