Tom Sawyer on the Mississippi…
Well, today was certainly better than yesterday. And we got to travel thru 4 different states…AR, TN, MS, and AL.
We woke up this morning to a beautiful view of the Mississippi River from the rear of our coach.
We arrived at Tom Sawyer RV Park in West Memphis, AR after dark, so Jan had no idea how close to the water we were. She was really surprised when she stepped outside this morning.
Later in the evening I kept hearing trains go by, but I didn’t remember seeing any tracks nearby. It turned out this is what I was hearing.
After enjoying the view we headed out about 9:30 am across the Mississippi thru Memphis, TN to Athens, AL, about 215 miles away.
It was a much smoother trip than yesterday. No problems at all, really. We did stop for breakfast / lunch (it was lunch time, but we had breakfast) at a Huddle House restaurant in Corinth, MS. Lucky for us, their parking lot was big enough for us to park the rig with no problems.
We pulled into Northgate RV Travel Park about 3pm, and got hooked up. We’ll be here for a few days, visiting relatives here in Athens. And, lucky for us, one of my relatives owns the RV park.
We plan on staying here until maybe, Wednesday before heading down to Gulf Shores, AL for a few days, on our way back to Houston.
More tomorrow…
