October 25, 2025 (Sat.) - Recharge Day.
Lynn was up early at 7:15 AM, greeted by the cold and darkness. Unfortunately, she wasn’t feeling her best. A wave of dizziness, nausea, and a pounding headache kept her from blogging, so she took some Advil and rested. Kirk got up around 10:00 AM and whipped up breakfast for us. We were running low on propane, so he made a quick trip into town to refill.
By afternoon, Lynn was feeling better and got back into the groove with some light chores, a bit of blogging, and reorganizing the RV. We needed to make space for our growing bourbon collection—those bottles aren’t going to secure themselves, and we definitely don’t want any casualties during travel.
The evening was quiet and cozy. We watched a few movies and kicked back until about 7 PM, when a sudden thud startled us. It felt like something had struck the RV. Kirk went outside to check but found nothing unusual. An odd and mysterious way to end the day.
No photos today—just a restful pause in the journey.

October 26, 2025 (Sun.) - Around E-town.
After a quiet day yesterday, we were ready to get out and explore Elizabethtown—better known as E-town to locals. The weather couldn’t make up its mind: rain on, rain off. We decided to roll with it. If it poured, so be it.
Â
Lynn was up early around 7:30 AM, battling a crushing headache and congestion—her allergies flaring up again. Thankfully, a dose of medicine helped ease the symptoms.
Â
Kirk had a rough start to the day too. At 4 AM, he woke up freezing! The temps had dipped into the low 40s, and the heater wasn’t working. Confused, since he’d just refilled the propane the day before, he bundled up and went to investigate. Turns out, in classic Kirk fashion, he forgot one small detail: turning the propane valve to “on.” Mystery solved—and lesson learned the chilly way!
Â
By 10 AM, we were hungry and headed into town for breakfast. We had our sights set on Waffle House, but when we arrived, the parking lot was packed and there was a very long line inside. Not today. As we drove on, we spotted signs for Fort Knox—just a few minutes away. We knew we couldn’t go in (it’s still an active Army base), but we swung by for a look and snapped a few photos.
Â
Curious, Lynn did some quick research and found out you can apply online for a 5-day Fast Pass to get a visitor’s pass for Fort Knox. She registered herself and then Kirk while he drove us around in search of breakfast. We landed at Bob Evans—reliable food and coffee. It was busy (Sunday at 11 AM, after all), but the wait wasn’t bad and the meal hit the spot.
Â
About 20 minutes after registering, Kirk got a text confirming his Fort Knox Visitor Pass. Lynn, on the other hand, got nothing. An hour later, she received a message saying her application was still under review. Sigh.
Â
After breakfast, Lynn wanted to check out a quirky Roadside America attraction nearby (World’s Largest Thumb Tack), which led us to Freeman Lake Park. The park was beautiful, and we stumbled upon some fascinating historical buildings tucked into the grounds. Despite the cold, we wandered around and took in the scenery.
Â
The rest of the day was low-key. Lynn blogged, we watched TV, and Kirk cooked up salmon for dinner. Around 5 PM, the rain started—and didn’t let up. It poured steadily through the evening, making for a cozy night in. Still no update on Lynn’s Fort Knox visitor pass.
