Day 6- Thursday, 6/25/09 - ON THE ROAD

Breakfast at Cracker Barrel courtesy of another thoughtful wedding guest. Corinne has Montmorency Cherry pancakes. Yum! We take our grits to go.

Before we leave, we stop at the Western Store and Bob buys a gorgeous pair of ostrich quill boots at a very steep discount. They'll be good for dancing. Corinne buys a shirt, a sweater and some silver cactus earrings. We love stores that are closing.

We see an RV dealer with a small trailer called the Arpod. That happens to be Bob's brother-in-law's middle name, so we have to photograph it. Nearby is Stumpy Lane, which happens to be the name that Bob's friends in the Air Force used to call him because he was so short.

FUNNY PLACE NAMES: Tater Peeler Road, Pringles Road, Pillow State Park

Corinne drives in the afternoon. We hit 1000 miles!

At the General Store in Millington, TN near Meeman-Shelby State Park there is a horsefly the size of a quarter. They have warm cheddar cheese triangles wrapped in plastic wrap sitting on the counter. The owner says "These are for people to eat on crackers with their Vie-enna sausage". Ohkay.......

Mosquitoes buzz in our ears despite repellant. We go down to the Mighty Muddy Mississippi - down a narrow winding road. There are tiny waves lapping.
