And Now, Arkansas

When we were discussing what we wanted to do in Tennessee besides go to the Grand Ole Opry, I immediately said that I wanted to see Graceland. Well, we were in Nashville and Graceland is in Memphis -- almost across the state.  Tennessee is not a real big state, it's wide and skinny, but it was a good two hundred and thirty miles.  We followed Tom and Juni out of the Nashville Country RV Park this morning headed for Interstate 40 West --

It was long trip, but we finally came to the western edge of the state and approached the Mississippi River --

And right in the middle of the bridge, we crossed into Arkansas --

We had originally planned to stay at the RV Park at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, but Tom was on-line making the reservations and he found this really neat RV Park across the river in West Memphis, Arkansas.  It's called Tom Sawyer's Mississippi River RV Park and it really is right on the river!

I'm standing beside Auntie Violet where we are parked beside Tom and Juni in the above picture looking to the right across the gravel --

 And then looking to the left --

The weather forecast is predicting a thunderstorm tonight and the wind is really blowing already, but once it clears off, it should be a gorgeous night with this full moon --

The line of thunderstorms in Oklahoma, Texas and southern Arkansas is predicted to spawn tornadoes tonight, so everyone is a bit jumpy.  We have the NOAA weather radio turned on, even though it's not supposed to be bad this far north...
