August 13 - 22, 2016
We left Grand Lake St Marys and headed south toward Renfro Valley KY.
There's not much to say about Renfro Valley RV Park but we managed to find a few diamonds in the rough. We found Lake Linville nearby and spent some time driving around.
We were parked nearby in basically a field but we did manage to park near the creek, shaded by the only tree. Most days there were only 3 or 4 RVs and most stayed only for the night. It was a place to park, nothing more.
It rained a few days which left us in a flood zone. Luckily I brought my rubber boots which were put to good use mucking through puddles and wet grass while walking the dogs.
We asked for a picnic table 3 times, but no one ever brought one. They were mostly warped and weathered so we really didn't care much. It was usually too wet and muddy to sit outside. The showers were ok, but their laundry room is out of service.
We also noticed that many buildings were for sale or vacant. A local Dennys was shuttered even though the sign could still be seen from I-75. Another restaurant and motel were for sale next to the office that looked decent so we couldn't figure out why they were for sale. We also couldn't determine when shops or the country music museum were open because there were never any cars in their lots. It made us wonder if the town had suffered an economic downturn of sorts.
There is one restaurant and many fast food joints. The Limestone Grill is pretty much the only game in town but don't expect to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail with your meal because the county is dry. So stock up since the nearest liquor store is 20 miles away.
We left for greener pastures.
Not our favorite place.
Next stop:
Harrison Bay State Park, Harrison Bay TN
