Mileage: 78,596

It rained all night and much of the morning. It was nice to finally see some blue sky peeking through before lunchtime. The Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers were swollen and nearby farmland was soupy. They certainly need some sunshine here. One bright spot on this long trip home has been the fuel prices. Today we got diesel for 2.24 a gallon! Another bright spot came this afternoon. Walmarts along 40 East in Tennessee so not allow overnight camping. The campgrounds in this area do not open until May. We found a Cracker Barrel just outside Nashville that warmly welcomed us to stay in their lot! They wanted us to have a safe place to stay. The restaurant is not open but they were offering carryout…it was nice to have a comfort foods meal tonight. Every mile we drive brings us closer to home. We are almost there!

Home for the night:

Thank you for your hospitality!!
