GOSHEN TO SHEPHERDSVILLE: Family Time Ahead!

We wanted our route from Goshen, IN to Shepherdsville, KY to avoid  toll roads, so we took Indiana 15 out of Goshen, to US 24 at Wabash to US 31 south to I 465 around Indianapolis and on to I-65 southbound to KY.  We heard  bad reports on the road conditions from Indianapolis south and we found them to be true.  Many of the I-465 bridge joints were bone-shaking holes,along with other potholes you just can't avoid easily in a big rig, and the first part of  I-65 south of Indianapolis wasn't much better. But things smoothed out a little more as got farther south.

We didn't want to drive the whole route in one day so we searched by phone for Walmarts along the way that allowed overnight RV parking.  After being told "no" to our phone call several times, we ended up being welcomed at the Seymour, IN Walmart and found a nice spot along a side grass area. There were several big trucks for neighbors, but  that didn't bother us.

Our journey continued late the next morning. Because we were avoiding tolls, we exited I-65 at Exit 1 in Indiana to cross the Ohio River on the Geroge Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge.


We didn't know there was construction on the bridge that left only one lane open in each direction, and those lanes were very narrow. The speed limit was 25 MPH, and Hank drove  Little House in these tight quarters  with no problems. We drove a few blocks through downtown Louisville to find our way back to I-65 southbound and finished our journey to  Grandma's RV Camping in Shepherdsville.


We've stayed here many times when we/ve visited  Louisville, our old home town. The level campsites are very close together, but the owners keep the grounds very clean with good hookups.They've been almost full up the last two nights.

Our time here will be enjoying visits with family and friends before moving farther south.  At least the weather here is much warmer then where we've been the last month, and there's no freezing temperatures in the immediate forecast.
