4/30/2012 - Headed for Murfreesboro, TN. We left the Ozark Country Campground this morning in the rain. It had been raining since the early hours of morning. Finally got ahead of the rain down the road. Stopped at Pilot for gas on I24, was going to spend the night, but they were full. Found a Popeye's Chicken to get supper, the inside was closed, could not drive through, so we waliked the drive through lane. The person at the window was worried about us being in the traffic lane and went to get the manager. After some explanation as to why the motorhome could not fit through the drive through, the manager laughed and opened the door for us. Found a Wal-Mart and crashed for the night. Shelby T is having problems with the hip and ... read more

4/24/2012 - Before starting out today, we had breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, and biscuits. Biscuits cooked by Jack in the Taylor's oven and the rest cooked by me - - Shelby T. Visited Boot Hill today. Boot Hill got it's name from the fact that those buried in Boot Hill were unknown in the area, broke, of a reputation such that the townspeople would not bury them in the church cemetery. They were typically wrapped in a blanket fully dressed, even with their "boots" on and buried. Hince the name "Boot Hill". The museum was interesting. Later rode out to a viewpoint of the Santa Fe Trail. Not a lot to see here except the historical markers. Had jalapeno burgers on the grill for supper - - yummmmmmmmy!!! Watched the results of Dancing With The ... read more
