March 27

Now at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park north of Memphis. Been raining since we got. Comes in waves. Heavy rain and lots of thunder. Set the camper up in the rain and while we got wet, the inside of the  camper did not. However, we do have a leak around one of the roof vents. Have a basin catching the water and not leaking heavily.

This is another state park that costs us $11.43 per night. Gotta love it. Has lots of trails and bird and wild animals. Also a nature center. Weather supposed to be better tomorrow and good on Saturday. Plan to leave Sunday but sure of where we will go.

We bought a small TV with us since we have an antenna. Tonight we can get over 25 channels. Yesterday it was 29. Able to watch some the programs we like and some of the BB games. I have mixed feelings about it.

Very windy today. Affected us quite a bit. Both hands on the steering wheel. Then mix in rain, fortunately no hard and it is a challenge.

After spending more time in Asheville then we had planned, we are now in Lebanon, TN at the Cedars of Lebanon State Park. Weather was quite cold in Asheville this morning as we packed up-to leave.

Yesterday was nasty day. Heavy snow squalls all day, high winds and cold. Not a fit day for man nor beast. I had really wanted to leave yesterday, but in retrospect I am glad we did not. There was snow in the Smokies, and while not a large accumulation, the road was steep and curvy. Would not have been good with blowing snow and poor visibility.

Today was a pleasant day to drive. We changed time zones and when we got to our original destination for the day it was only 12:30 CDT. too early to stop. Decided to drive closer to Nashville so tomorrow's trip won't be as long.

This a nice campground about 8 miles from I 40. Not crowded and with discount only $11.43. Can't beat a deal like that.
