Walking in Memphis

We have moved to Tom Sawyer RV Park, right on the Mississippi River. The first thing we had to do was go to dinner at our favorite place here, The Memphis Barbecue CO. 

We got there early to avoid the crowd.

I rarely put pictures of food in the blog. but these are the best ribs you can get in the world. I got the whole slab and Peggy got the 1/2 slab with dry rub. They were great! Then the next day we had to go to Beale Street for lunch and some music. We took an Uber cab ride to get there. It was only $12. We ate at Silky's Irish Pub. I had the Sausage and Cheese Plate which is a common menu choice in Tennessee.    

Looks yummy doesn't it?

Then we took in some good Blues Music. When it was time to go home we couldn't get a Uber driver, so we had to take a cab that cost $44 to get back. We weren't very happy about that. We'll have to make better Uber choices next time.

I was sitting in the RV and I noticed a red HHR two sites over, then I remembered that a blogger we read has a red HHR and it was Mike and Sandy. His blog link is on our page Phannie and Mae

We all went to dinner the next night.

We've been reading Mike's blog for about 3 years, so it was fun to finely meet them. It's great to make new friends on the road. We felt like we already knew them just from reading his blog.

The weather has been real hot and humid here.

One of the best things about this park is the view of the river and all the action on it.

Lots of barge traffic going up and down the river.

This park just reopened a week before we got here. It was under water. That happens a lot.

This is how close you can get to the river.

We had to go to the biggest Bass Pro Shop.

Peggy took this real cool picture. The last time we were here it was a closed down sports arena. Bass Pro Shops invested $200 Million to rebuild it. I love Bass Pro Shops! 

This was a Bass Pro Shop extraordinaire. Besides the usual stocked fish ponds, grill with bowling alley, and a gun range upstairs, it had a Shooting Arcade and hotel in it. We had great Fish and Chips at Uncle Buck's Grill.

Oh we found this really cool picture of a BGE in Africa. How cool is that. 

Live Happy and Always Go Big.

On The Move

We're on the move again. But before we left Betty's we had to have some more fun.

It was Karaoke night!

Monica, Mary Ann and Betty, singing Let's Get Drunk and Screw. That's the only song I can sing.

The next day we moved to Frenchmen's RV Park in Butte La Rose, LA. It was only a 50 mile drive. That's one of the shortest drives we've made this year. The park is in the middle of the Henderson Swamp. So we had a lot of bugs.

This park had way too many rules. We couldn't unload the Reeper.

We had some rain and all of these birds showed up. They were fun to watch. Hope they were eating some of the bugs!

We found this nice, little house boat town in the swamp.

Having a cold one on the deck of the Turtle Bar.

You can get an Air Boat tour from here.

On Sunday afternoon we went to Whiskey River Landing to hear Geno Delafose genodelafosemusic and some more Zydeco music.

The place was packed. This bar only opens on Sunday from 3 to 8. 

I noticed these little shelves on the poles by the dance floor. 

Then when the music started we found out what they were for.

I'm not sure why they call it Whiskey River, because it's on the Henderson Swamp. We love the music in Louisiana, we'll be back. 

Our next move was to Brandon, MS, to Timberlake RV Park. A real nice park on Ross Barnett Reservoir. 

We're in the newest part of the park. We have a nice, big, back in site. So far, the only bad thing is that it's rained every day.

A little wild life, here's a Redheaded Woodpecker.

From here we go to one of our favorite parks in West Memphis, Tom Sawyer RV Park, right on the Mississippi River.

Live Happy and Always Go Big.
