We moved from Arkansas to Tennessee to Kentucky and are now crossing over to Indiana. The weather has improved considerably since we woke up to a cold last morning in Arkansas. We drove across I-40 and crossed the Mighty Mississippi at Memphis. Elvis is still being sought there, and they are really proud of him. Graceland was advertised along the freeway, but alas, we didn't stop. We spent a night in Tennessee at Natchez Trace State Park, but it was still pretty cold. That morning was just above freezing. Then we moved into Kentucky and drove through an area called Land Between the Lakes. This is a national monument set aside by the Kennedy administration in the early sixties. The area is a long strip of land between the Cumberland and Kentucky rivers which have been dammed and created the Kentucky and Barkley lakes. They have herds of buffalo and elk grazing in the meadows here. We camped at Pennyrile Forest State Park Resort near there and they had golf, tennis, a lodge, and a lake, plus an equestrian area and camping. Kentucky does a wonderful job with it's state parks, and we had a good stay.
Today we drove through Kentucky and as a last hurrah are driving a part of the Bourbon Trail. We are not imbibing so much as taking a break from the freeway, but this is a very scenic drive.
We will be camping for two nights in Indiana and then home on Monday.
Hope all are well.
