Well... here we are sitting in our camp chairs having a cold one, in Tupelo Mississippi.....and it's finally warm enough to be outside with out jackets!!
The Natchez Trace is the most amazing route.... lots of history. It's a 2laner with very little traffic (commercial traffic isn't allowed on it) and great scenery.... it's almost like home but with those amazing flowering trees that I have now found out to be called red bud.
We spent our last night in Tennesee... imagine that 3 nights in Tennessee! We found this little out of the way campsite that has it's own family run restaurant and B& B. One of the other campers, who also happens to be from Ontario, reccomended the restaurant. So we dined on our first catfish and hushpuppies with chocolate cobbler for desert! It was delicious but not as great as the friendly service. I see where our service area can pick up some pointers! They were so friendly and bent over backwards for us. The accent was a little thick I will admit and I think some things were lost in translation. But they sure push tourism in their area.
Tomorrow it will be on to Natchez and from there not quite sure yet.
But as Tupelo (or as Billie Bob says... 2 below) is the birthplace of Elvis we are going to see if we can find the museum here.... might not be the same as Graceland but....
