Day 2 - Saturday, November 30 - Poplar Bluff, MO to Corinth, MS

 Last night was a little warmer than had been forecast. When we checked in we were told that ALL hoses were to be disconnected during the night. We actually saw one of the campground managers come around with a flashlight checked to make sure everyone was disconnected. The overnight low was 29 degrees, disconnecting wouldn't have been necessary but....

We knew we were only going to travel a little over 200 miles today so we were in no hurry getting around this morning. We pulled out of Camelot RV Park at 9:30 AM. It was a nice day and traffic was light.

We saw harvested cotton fields in Missouri, Tennessee and Mississippi. This field was in Tennessee. There were bales, mostly in groups of 4, all around the perimeter of the field.


We crossed into Tennessee at 11:20 AM. 

Not much traffic on the Mississippi, just some tied up barges.

The Tennessee Welcome Center.

Where we stopped for a leisurely lunch. There were a few cars in the front but we only saw a couple of semi's and another Class A stop for a short time in the truck parking area.

Then it was on to Mississippi. We crossed the state line at 2:35 PM. The temperature was 50 degrees.
We arrived at the Cross City RV Park, in Corinth, MS, around 3:00 PM

We have visited Corinth several times, and stayed at this park once before. Corinth is the site of a lot of activity during the War of Northern Aggression (Civil War to Yankees <grin>). If you are interested you can read more about in my March 22 & 23, 2024 posts.  https://bertdsblog.blogspot.com/2024/03/day-111-saturday-march-23-corinth.html

Overnight lows are forecast to hover in the 26-44 degree range over the next 10 nights. Hopefully we will be out of here before then. The next 10 days the overnight lows in Harlingen, TX, where we plan on spending the winter, range from 54-64.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
