We made it to Nashville, Tennessee last night. We got to visit with Walter's nephew, Wayne, who is in school at Blackbird Academy. He helped us get set up in our first Walmart parking lot. It was actually really quiet. We all had a good night's sleep and woke up ready to go. We also learned a few things about camping at Walmart...one being, look around to notice the traffic pattern before you park...aka-don't park next to the parking lot exit, another being look at the lamp posts-park close enough for light but not so close that the light shines right into the window. After a quick breakfast of cereal, we hit the road again. A couple hours into our day, we made a stop at Natchez Trail State Park. We thought it was a different park with cool trails...but we were confused. It did have a nice picnic area and a neat visitors center.
We made it through the rest of Tennessee and into Arkansas.
By into Arkansas, I mean crossing the Mighty Mississippi. For those of you who know Walter, know that I was driving. He did a great job!! We stopped at the Arkansas rest area. The nice lady at the desk helped us get reservations for a State Park about half way through Arkansas...our first real camping experience on Daisy (the name of our bus...I'll give you a guided tour at some point). No real excitement up until this point. Everything was rolling right along!!
