Pikeville, KY

We made a longer tow to Pikeville, 203 miles on US23, a very nice 4 lane divided highway.  We'll continue on US23 which we have taken twice in the past going to Flowery Branch to visit Jody & family.  We'll spend 2 nights here as we aren't in a hurry to go south and are keeping an eye in hurricane Irma.

 

The city of Pikeville is long and narrow stretching along the  Levisa Fork River.  You can see on the left of the picture some of "the cut" as it's called that took 18 years to construct rerouting the river to eliminate flooding and make a better route for the railroad and a couple major roads.

The Pikeville City Campground is in a large city park and we are adjacent to the lighted soccer field allowing Judy to relax on the sofa and watch the girls then the boys high school games.

It made us think of Devyn so Judy sent her a couple pictures and said this is the way we want to watch her games from now on.
