We’ve driven around and through Memphis a few times in the past and had always considered it another ugly city to, if possible, be avoided. Yesterday morning we head out to do Art. Not just any old Art, mind you, we’re looking for something different and classy. Since it opens first, we choose the Brooks…

Whole lot of shakin’ going on
Apparently he’s dead, but Elvis certainly lives on in Graceland, probably bigger than ever before. It’s only logical that on our first day in Memphis we would walk across the parking lot, past the Heartbreak Hotel and check out Graceland. With the exception of his mansion, you enter every other exhibit including Elvis’s cars, his…
Ode to Billie Joe
We only needed to travel 69 miles yesterday, from Enid to Memphis so we’re not in any hurry. We enjoy a second coffee, the dogs get an extra long walk. Life is good. We come out of the park, turn right on the county road and see a sign pointing to Choctaw Ridge. Yesterday we…
We’re going to Jackson
We leave Percy Quin State Park, turn right on 48 and then make a left on to I-55. For the next few hours our task is just to stay of 55. If feels so good to be on the road again, so Marilyn and I are singing the old Johnny Cash/June Carter hit “We’re going…
200 graves, less than 90 headstones
They couldn’t name most of the soldiers so of the 200 bodies buried here only about 90 actually are remembered by name on headstones
Environment Canada: More Cold Weather To Come
Well, isn’t that just lovely news! Then the report goes on to say “the cold weather will continue on and off at least until the mid part of April” I’ve been paying particularly close attention to southern Ontario weather lately because, well because that’s where we’re headed. On the one hand I have a travel…
Did I mention we like it here?
As you can see, the park isn’t very busy. In fact, there are probably 40 sites in the part of the park we’re in and including us there are only 3 campers. Kind of like we have a few hundred acres of Mississippi forest all to ourselves. I’m sure that’s part of why we like…
RVillage.com Revisited
It’s been about 10 days since we first talked about RVillage.com a website designed to help campers connect with other campers. In that 10 days they have quadrupled their membership to over 3200 , all RVers or about-to-be-RVers, all interested in getting to know and staying connected their RV friends and neighbors. I have diligently…
The Smiling Gator
We hook up the dogs and head out to do the Percy Quin State Park Nature Trail. They call it a nature trail because the animals, the birds and the reptiles of the swamp all line up behind the bushes to watch the humans, pulled by their less than-a-mouthful dogs, zig zag between the trees,…
