I awoke to a delivery truck at the Cracker Barrel restaurant where I spent the night.  I headed out to my first stop, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park:

The park preserves the Cumberland Gap, a break in the Appalachian Mountains.  The “discovery” of the gap by white settlers in 1750 allowed for the settling of Kentucky and Tennessee.

When I arrived, I discovered that the RV refrigerator no longer works on propane but does work on electricity, so I raised my solar panels and turned on the inverter to generate 120VAC:

For some reason, my current phone (LG V20) doesn’t communicate with the solar controller’s Bluetooth module, but my backup phone works.  Here I’m generating 384 watts of power and consuming 261 watts to operate the refrigerator:

I wanted to visited the Gap itself as well as the Pinnacle Overlook, but the road has a 20-foot length limit, and I’m at 28 feet, so I dropped a motorcycle off the front rack:

From the overlook, the Gap is the cleft running to the lower left corner of the photograph:

Views from the overlook:

On the way back down, I visited a Civil War defensive position.  The Gap changed hands several times during the Civil War:

I parked the motorcycle and hiked up to the Gap itself:

This memorial marks Daniel Boone’s trail through the Gap:

The 20-foot length limit on the road makes sense:

I continued east into Tennessee to Visit Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area:

I then headed south to visit Obed Wild and Scenic River:

I continued south to overnight at a closed Cabellas in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.  See the trip map for today’s drive.
