Niota/Sweetwater, Tennessee

We were on the road leaving Chattanooga by 9:30 this morning. Our next destination was only 68 miles north on I-75 at the Tennessee Country Campground in Niota, Tennessee. We got to the park at 11:00 but there was no one at the office. I called the cell phone number on the office door and the owner told me to park in the only site open, site #8. I pulled into the site and got the pickup unhooked and then started to get my services hooked up. I didn't empty my holding tanks before leaving the last RV park so that was one of the first things I wanted to do here. I hooked up the drain hose and pulled the handle to empty the black (sewage) tank. Almost instantly sewage started overflowing out of the park's sewer connection. There was a clog in their pipe. If you have ever watched Robin Williams' movie "RV", you might get the picture of the mess it made. Luckily I was right there on it and got the valve closed before it made too much of a mess. This was one of the many times while RVing the word "OWFISH" literally came to mind. The park's staff was able to soon unclog the lines and I washed off the spilled sewage from the concrete parking pad and had everything else hooked up and took a shower before my friends John and Kathy Winter arrived from Sweetwater.
