Going Back to Jackson…
Going back to Jackson by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash
We left Miss Ellie’s RV Park about 10:15 am heading for Jackson, MS about 230 miles away. We were hoping to stay at the Moose Lodge in Jackson, but I couldn’t get anyone on the phone to find out if they had a site available.
I tried at 9 am, and then again at 10, right before we hit the road. No luck.
Finally, a little after 1 pm, only about 90 minutes out of Jackson, I got a hold of someone who said they had a site with full hookups available.
We got there about 2:30 pm and got set up. This Moose lodge has 3 sites, 1 50 amp and 2 30 amp sites, with water and sewer hookups. It doesn’t look like anyone has stayed here in a while. And one water tap is not working..
But it’s perfect for us, and free too. The manager said the the first night was free. I told him we’d only be here one night, and he said “No problem”.
After we got set up and settle in, we headed down the road about a half a mile to Sonny’s BBQ, one of our two favorite BBQ places. (The other one is Famous Dave’s BBQ.)
After a great BBQ meal of ribs, sliced pork, beans, corn, fries,and Mac N Cheese, we drove over to a nearby Krogers to pick up some groceries, and then it was home for the night to watch Dr. Who.
Tomorrow we head over to Montgomery, AL for a couple of days to catch up with some old friends we still correspond with, but haven’t seen in person for over 30 years.
