Kentucky, Lexington - Sunday, April 27, 2014 - Walmart


We left Timberline Valley RV Resort mid-morning and headed to Indianapolis to attend the monthly meeting for Rolling Thunder Indiana Chapter One.  We’ve been members of Rolling Thunder for over three years.  We are very proud of the work Rolling Thunder does to promote awareness of the issues involving POWs and MIAs who need to be brought home.  The past four years we participated in the Ride to the Wall which is a peaceful demonstration ride in Washington, D.C. on Memorial Day weekend.  The demonstration is to bring awareness to the POW/MIA issues.  This year we aren’t going to be able to participate in the demonstration, but we will be at the sendoff to wish them safe travels.  It was good to catch up with our Rolling Thunder friends.
We have made it as far as Lexington, KY and are taking advantage of the hospitality of the local Walmart – we are staying in their parking lot tonight.  If we are just going to be stopping overnight going from point A to point B this just seems like the easiest alternative.   We always go in and do our shopping and ask permission to stay, so far we haven’t been refused anywhere. 

Since our route today was one we had been over many times, I spent some time catching up on my magazine reading on the IPad instead of sightseeing.  I subscribe to Next Issue and can pick from over 100 different magazines for $10.00 a month.  You can pick as many or as few magazines as you want and you can change at any time, I have picked about 15 I look at.  You have access to past issues too.  Once you have downloaded your monthly magazines you have access to read them without the benefit of the internet so you can read them going down the road.  It usually takes 2 or 3 minutes to download a magazine.  They have just this month added a great feature, you can save pages to your electronic device (just like ripping the pages out of the magazines).  The pages are saved in your “pictures” file and you can work with them from there.  I’ve been very pleased with this service, it is especially nice for those of us who travel and live in limited spaces where we don’t want a lot of magazine clutter.
