Arkansas

We stayed just west of the border last night in a lovely, quiet RV park, with lots of trees.  We sat at the picnic table and sipped wine under that stars.  So dark....they really stand out!  Arkansas is beautiful!  Rolling hills covered with deciduous trees.  They are about finished, but still lovely, and we could only imagine how beautiful they must have been a week or so ago.  Arkansas is called the Nature State, and it sure is.  52 state parks, rivers, streams, waterfalls, and hiking trails.....I would love to return and experience those.  And there is the Trail of Golf, so Clem could be entertained while I am on the trails!

These states also have the Civil War trail, and the Trail of Tears, and I would love to see  those as well.

We figured Bill and Hillary were in NY , so we didn't stop!  Made time, and got into Memphis TN by 2pm, in time to tour Graceland.  We were both happy we did that, though we probably never would have, had we not been driving through.   Oh , and it was pretty neat to drive over the Mississippi River!  Clem and I both spelled it out as we crossed it!

We are in town of Jackson TN tonight.  Surprised to find the RV park so full, given what we have been experiencing.  This time of year, pretty quiet.  (that is really great for the tourist attractions!)  We were told that an RV club is arriving this weekend, and some have already arrived.  They have a dart target hung on a tree, and the folks next door have Christmas lights  and a little tree flashing in front of their coach!  Pretty cute!  Another has a string of paper lanterns......now you KNOW if we buy a coach, I will have some of THOSE!!  haha!
