The weather was cooler than it had been, so I left the kitties in the trailer while driving. The only tense part was driving through Knoxville. I didn&#8217;t see a convenient bypass so I just drove through the city and contended with the traffic, which was heavy on I-40. But about an hour from the campground, we split off onto I-81 to start wending our way north to New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/EB54480D-E290-48FF-B9A2-1596C2F63F82_1_105_c.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/EB54480D-E290-48FF-B9A2-1596C2F63F82_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"The bathhouse and laundry, a low brown building with a metal roof, in a campground.\" class=\"wp-image-1103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/EB54480D-E290-48FF-B9A2-1596C2F63F82_1_105_c.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/EB54480D-E290-48FF-B9A2-1596C2F63F82_1_105_c-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/EB54480D-E290-48FF-B9A2-1596C2F63F82_1_105_c-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The bathhouse and laundry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most memorable thing about this campground was my visit to the laundry room to wash a few loads of clothes and towels. I met a teenage boy who was into coin collecting \u2014 he was going through the laundry quarters, and the older guy he was with said the kid was looking for &#8220;special&#8221; quarters. Oh yeah, I said, the pre-1964 quarters were made of solid silver. So right there I made a friend \u2014 the kid and I hung out and talked coins until my laundry was done. I showed him my silver Walking Liberty dollar and the Gold Eagle I kept in my bag, and he went and got his coin collection to show me his Mercury dimes and a wheat penny and some Canadian and Mexican coins. It was a very pleasant way to spend time doing laundry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baileyton KOA Holiday7485 Horton HighwayGreeneville, TN 37745423-234-4992 August 12, 2021 We arrived at the Baileyton KOA at around 2:30 PM, after losing another hour to the time change.
