Natchez-Trace State Park

June 27-30 Friday thru Sunday: Had enough of Little Rock. Found a state park halfway between Memphis and Nashville. Called to see if they had space because you could not make reservations. No problem plenty of space and they were right. It is almost 12 miles into the campground from the park entrance. Larry figures it will take about 3 gallons of diesel to get in and out of the park. It is funny how the price of gas is the upper most in our minds. Our friends we met in Great Falls, Mt are now in Alaska and have finally hit the $5 mark for gasoline. I shudder to think what diesel is there.
It has been a great relaxing three days. I even managed to get caught up on our blog. Larry writes it in longhand then I type it on the computer. It seems to be working. Still having a few minor problems.
All the spots next to the lake were taken here but the other ones are just as nice. Larry was excited because we are able to put the rug and lounge chairs up. First time this trip. Great places to walk the dogs and enjoy the Tennessee beauty.
The weather is very warm but we are finally enjoying "breezes" instead of gales of wind.
Ate dinner at the lodge on Saturday night. A BBQ buffet with ribs, pulled pork, chicken and all the fixin's for $10.00. Loved listening to everyone's soft southern drawl.
Tomorrow we thought we would get a little closer to Nashville. Lorretta Lynne has a RV campground nest to her place. Nice thing about having no reservations we can pick up and go when we want.
