Old Man River ...

We drove another 240 miles on Thursday to arrive at Tom Sawyer RV Park in the early afternoon. It was nice just driving on highways and this RV park is totally cool. We heard a lot of goods things from our friends and I have to agree totally. We are parked about 20 feet from the mighty Mississippi and can watch the tug boats going up and down the river all day and night.


It is very peaceful here and I actually got a geographical lesson. We pulled into the park, got all set up and then I complained to Doug that I did not see the "Welcome to Tennessee" sign when we arrived here. Guess what, West Memphis is actually in Arkansas. To be greeted by Tennessee you need to drive about 5 more miles on I40, half way over the bridge, until you are in Tennessee. You would think that a suburb of Memphis would actually be in the same state then the town, but that's what you get for thinking. :-).

Tennessee did greet us when we drove into Memphis yesterday.
