This morning before we left Tupelo, we went to Elvis Presley Drive and toured the house where Elvis was born. The gift shop is loaded with Elvis memorabilia (or junk) including an Elvis lawn chair.
We completed all 444 miles of the Natchez Trace - a really interesting and peaceful drive - except for the numerous wild turkeys that kept crossing the road in front of the truck. Almost had one for the freezer. As we got further north on the trace, Jane found it harder to take pictures with the windshield wipers going full blast.
Our next stop for the night is the Nashville Country RV Park - can understand the country part of the name - this place is north of the city and in the country....LOL If you are not a Passport Aamerica member, then find a place closer to the grand ole opry. If you are a PA member and decide to stay, don't plan to wash your rig. There is a $10 charge and you will need a permit before you can start washing. Fortunately the rain washed our rig for us.
We managed to set up in the rain, then we quickly changed and headed over to the Texas Troubadour Theatre - for a tribute to the King. Yes this is definitely Elvis country. The show was super and well worth the drive.
Since the rain is going to turn to snow tonight - we are not leaving tomorrow. We will explore the Grand ole opry tomorrow and do some touring - we'll see if I need the 4x4 tomorrow! Our plan is to leave early Wednesday since sun is forecasted.
Jane & Paul.
