Cool and rainy this morning. This is a beautiful large and lovely campground but.... THE WEATHER SUCKS!
Talked to a lovely couple from Oregon last night. They are doing the reverse of what we are. They told us about a route called the "Natchez Trace Parkway". It follows the trail of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi via Alabama and Louisianna. It's about 400 or so miles and heads almost directly south.
So it looks like we won't be going to Graceland but seems like a great adventure. The only thing is we may have to dry camp for a night or so. I didn't want anyone to worry anyone (Amy) so I thought I would post this before we go.
Amy your dad says nothing can happen to us in Lousianna!
Talk to you soon!

March 30th
Sorry to be off line for the last couple of days...had a little technical trouble with the lap top but after pressing keys and going places I've never been in the workings I think I have finally solved the problem...here's hoping!
The day before last we made it to Renfro Valley, Kentucky. The birds were really singing and so many different kinds. The daffadils, cherry blossoms and even dandelions were flowering ... plus a jaunty purple plumage on trees... not sure but it sure looks lovely going down the highway. Rob still wouldn't part with his longjohns. It was nice and sunny but still a little "fresh".
Last night we spent in a sketchy trailer park east of Rockwood, Tenn. on Hwy 40. It had been a really nice KOA but that must have been a few years back. It was raining but quite mild.
We spent yesterday doing a scenic drive off the main highway on a 2 laner going through scenic hills of the Daniel Boone National Forest, taking in the countryside. Very nice!
Daisy is getting better... she is starting to tolerate the camper and will get up herself without us having to force her!
We have just arrived at a KOA in Nashville.....HOW-DEE! It is quite cool right now and sort of rainy. I had talked Rob out of the longjohns this morning but I suspect he has snuck them back on!

into the states
Here we are all tucked in at a KOA campground outside of Wapaloneta Ohio. The robins are singing, the grass is green and there's no snow.
Had the best visit last night with Deb & Laverne, who have the cutest cottage in Port Stanley. Needless to say it wasn't early to bed! So we dragged our feet leaving them this morning but had the added bonus of having Joc, Ian, Keiren and Luke drop by for a short visit.
It's been great weather so far, sunshine all the way.... but Rob still hasn't parted company with the longjohns!
