Leaving the "Mother Ship"...

We've been at the Oliver Plant for close to a week for our 2 day service appointment.  The service team is top notch and we're leaving here as "happy campers".  We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast, "Meriwether's Retreat" in downtown Hohenwald, Tn.   Our hostess, Melissa, and her 4 dogs were so much fun to be around.  We really enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend them!

We talked Oliver into letting us stay for a couple more days since Hohenwald was hosting a one day music festival.

They like elephants here :) ​
A description from Wikipedia:
​​​The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, is a non-profit organization licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). Founded in 1995, The Sanctuary has provided a home to 28 elephants, all retired from zoos and circuses. The Elephant Sanctuary provides these elephants with a natural habitat, individualized care for life, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their well being. The elephant habitats are not open to the public.
At over 2,700 acres (11 km2), the sanctuary consists of three separate and protected, natural habitat environments for Asian and African elephants; a 2,200-acre (9 km2) Asian facility, a 200-acre (0.81 km2) quarantine area and a 300-acre (1.2 km2) African habitat.

As we were pulling away to leave, our hitch started making a terrible racket and we had to go back and have it tended to.  Good thing we hadn't left their parking lot!

All fixed and ready to rock 'n roll!

Our new friend, Mike, was there to pick up his Oliver.  He practiced driving up and down the adjacent road and backed into all 7 camping spots to prepare for his solo flight home to Texas.

Inside joke for Mike....he'll get it :) 

We also met Wanda and Victor.  We really enjoyed meeting them and listening to Victor's very talented voice and guitar!  Hope to jam with them again one day.
