There is not a lot to see in Marksville, LA except the casino so we enjoyed our last of sun and even tried the unheated pool. We found several Catholic churches and attended the one which has a priest who has sideburns like Elvis Presley. This morning we said goodbye to our friends who are all staying a few more days in Marksville, LA and headed north on the Natchez Trace. It was a lovely drive in the sunshine with the trees and lilacs in bloom. We saw several deer and even tried to catch supper – the wild turkeys which ran across the road. We didn’t take time to stop at all the historical markers because we wanted to get to Tupelo, Mississippi – birthplace of Elvis Presley before dark. We are camped for the night at the Campground at Barnes Crossing – a nice private campground with full hookups, wifi that works well and cable TV.
We have been watching the weather and are not sure how far we want to drive tomorrow because they are forecasting snow in Tennessee and points north and east. There were also tornado warnings in Tennessee so our choices are somewhat limited. We may decide to tour Nashville and wait until the snow moves farther east.
