Green Acres RV Resort Savannah, Tennessee

Mileage:  53,121

Neither of us slept very well last night.  There were lots of tractor trailers in the Walmart parking lot and it was pretty noisy.  We got ready to roll and we promised each other that we would do our best not to be too grouchy!

We did get very cheap diesel fuel in Arkansas…less than $3.00 a gallon.

We rode across the Mississippi River into Tennessee.

We decided to take Route 64 to get off the interstate for a while.  We drove through the town of Adamsville.  This was the home of Buford Pusser.  He was the sheriff from the true story and movie “Walking Tall.”  The road is named after him and there is a museum that you can tour.  He is a local hero who worked to rid his small hometown of corruption and all manner of vices.

This also gets us closer to the Nachez Trace Parkway where we plan to explore tomorrow.  Shortly before the campground we crossed the Tennessee River.

We spent the afternoon getting laundry done and watching football.  It was 90 degrees and we were in full sunshine.  We didn’t even feel like cooking dinner.  We went out for pizza and then drove the Jeep down to the river.
