Once Again, We Head South

My have times changed! We are watching the American Music Awards and just watched Jennifer Lopez' performance. Maybe 'cause we were just at Graceland a couple of weeks ago and saw, once again, the tapes of the Ed Sullivan show where they were SO CAREFUL to ONLY show Elvis from the waist up. Anyway, the dance -- and the costume -- Jennifer did -- and almost wore -- was just plain lewd! To say nothing of some of the rest of the performers!

When I made a comment to that effect, Forry reminded me that it had been over fifty years ago when Elvis caused all that furor... Boy, nothing can take the wind out of your sails faster than a remark like that!

We got ourselves organized this morning, packed up and left the Mid-South RV Resort after our eight night stay, once again heading south towards the Gulf Coast. It was a very grey, overcast day. The clouds were hanging so low, it was almost foggy.  The automatic lights along the Interstate 55 S were still on. The buzzards weren't even flying -- we saw at least a half dozen of them just sitting, looking miserable, in a field.

I found an RV park about halfway down the state of Mississippi near Canton called Movietown RV Resort. I called to make sure they were open (although that no longer seems to be an issue this far south). The lady assured me they were open and had plenty of room. Since there were only directions listed in the Woodall's book, I asked her for an address for the GPS. She gave me the address of the church 'right across the street,' but never mentioned that the office was not open today.

When we arrived at the RV Park, we, indeed, found that there was no one at the office.  There was a box on the side wall with maps and envelopes and instructions to put our money in the envelope and put it through the slot in the bottom of the office door.  The map showed a couple of X'd out sites that "had electrical issues," but stated that all of the sites had 30 & 50 amp electricity, water and sewer. We drove into the park, found a nice drive-through site and got ourselves parked and settled. It was so wonderfully warm that we actually had all the windows open and the fans on until it got dark.
