Sept 4, Friday - TN to MS

We got up early – 7am had a quick cup of tea and wandered over to Gracelands and the Reflection Garden to see the final resting place of the Presley Family.  Found it quite moving, there were tributes from various groups of fans and it was a beautiful spot, right behind the Graceland mansion.  The pool in the back had a diving board, I can so imagine a young buffed Elvis dive bombing off it! 

Then back on the road again, down the I 55 to Grenada (they pronounce it Gren aid a) with a quick stop at Walmart for extra supplies for the long weekend. 

On the way we were considering crossing over into Arkansis, to the west of us, just to say we have driven in some of that state too, maybe when we leave here, not today.  Mississippi State is quite flat, although we did come across more inclines the further south we drove. 

Once again these State Parks confound us, nobody at the office and no map or notices to give us any clues, so we trundle into the park and try and find our site, not even sure if we are in the right section of the huge park.  A phone call sorts it all out, our site is 001 the very first on the right as you enter the park and has an orange cone at the entrance to show the site has been reserved.  We see everyone come and go, but our site is large, with trees and we have 50amp power, very necessary when it is 95F outside.  Our picnic table, fire ring and BBQ grill are set way back from the road so it is not like everyone can see us as they drive by.
