End of another Sunday

        Our campsite tonight Gunter Hill

We are in Alabama now, traveling towards Memphis, to visit Graceland, and walk along Beal street. So far the state is beautiful, more like what we are used to. Pine 🌲 trees no more Palms🌴 not as lush as Florida, but very warm still. Polly and I both like the travel, as well as times we stay awhile. Memphis we have booked for 5 days Tuesday till Sunday be a nice length of stay. We also have Graceland booked, and the Elvis show on Saturday night. 

Our campground is another State Park.

T.O. Fuller State Park was the first state park open for African Americans east of the Mississippi River. Looks good, only 15 minutes to Graceland from there. We will be 2 different days at Graceland, so good to be close. As for Memphis, Polly wants to take the hop on hop off bus, so we get a good look around, and I don't have to drive. 

           Our view is great, boat launch 😆

The park we left today was great, Blue Springs State Park, is in the country, and very quiet all night, and many birds in the morning. We did some sight seeing from there, Ozark & Eufaula were interesting towns. 

As we travel we noticed many older homes, all beat up, some half or all crushed in, abandoned. Some looking like people built a new home, and just left the old one standing. Polly and I have tried to figure this out, still puzzled we are. Will ask someone again. 

Also we see many trailers, single wide, a few double wides, so many here, knowing they wouldn't stand a tornado, yet here they are, and more being produced all the time. Seems a waste to even have them at all here, but cheep housing I guess. Dangerous house to be in through bad weather. 

As we travel we pay much attention on the weather, and try our darness not to get in front of bad weather, sometimes we have to stay put, but mostly we can skirt it. Right now I'm watching the Storm making it's way across the country from the west, making sure we are ok. 

Polly's making dinner as I peck here, 6:19, 4:19 in BC, I'll send a laugh to Ted and Steve 😆

Been keeping the strong bond we have alive as we go, is nice to watch there days evolve, and families grow. Ciara same, we talk most every day, with her and Colton, even for a short time. Ciara doing better now, still like all of us, not easy, but every day just a little better. 

Today we traveled to another state park, Gunter Hill State Park is really nice place, huge cement driveway into the site, and all maintained well. A river beside our site, with a boat launch to watch the follies at. 😆 

Will stay a couple days, go into Montgomery tomorrow, see what we can of this town, deep south applies here, yet we have not seen anything that makes us think about the inequality, except the housing that the black people live in, I'm sure still much inequality in housing. 

I always wanted to see places we saw on TV in the past, and we are getting some of it, but Memphis I'm sure will be an education. When Polly and I got married for the 2nd time, in Las Vegas with friends and family there we dressed as Marilyn and Elvis. This was an education in how much people loved Elvis. 

Since then we wanted to go see Graceland, and this year we will, having watched the newest movie this year, made us want to more. Going to be a fun time I'm sure. 

Memphis here we come 😁🤗❤️
