There was one heck of a lightning storm last night. I love a good storm but the shell of the RV
magnifies the sound of the rain so it is hard to stay asleep, especially in
torrential rain. The morning was
similarly gloomy, so a good day to be driving rather than trying to enjoy the
great outdoors. It wasn’t far to the
Arkansas border, here’s the proof ….
But then we had to cross the majority of the state to make
our booked campsite, Tom Sawyers, in West Memphis. Mid-afternoon took a turn for the worse
weather-wise again so I took some video of the conditions that Simon was having
to tolerate. The last video I attempted
to upload to this blog didn’t work but this one is shorter so I may try
again?!
But the sky was an extremely
dark grey and the pouring rain made the visibility on the Highway
appalling. Thankfully there was some
respite when we arrived at the camp and were shown to our spot, within 50
meters of the Mississippi river. We paid
our $210 for the week, slightly over our $25 per night budget but the cheapest
we could find that looked like a nice site in easy reach of Memphis.
