On Thursday we had to stop just short of Oklahoma City in a town called El Reno. The winds were 65 mph and too strong to travel safely. Once we got on the road Friday morning we realized that there is not much to see in Oklahoma or Arkansas and discovered that many of the campgrounds in Memphis were under water due to the Mississippi River flooding.
Along the way we saw many fields and roads that were under water. There were road signs and trees blown over and a few houses that had holes in them or the roof's blown off.
We saw the Ozark Mountains as we passed through Arkansas. The didn't seem like much compared to the Sierra Nevadas or Rocky Mountains.
The marathon day of driving was inevitable. We needed to make up some time so that we could enjoy ourselves in Nashville. We drove 743 mi. stopping 5 times for gas. Sienna was happy the whole trip! We arrived at our campground in Nashville at 12:30 am. The campground was filled to maximum capacity with only one site left. This site was left just for us. Thank you to MiMi T and PopPop T for campground help and MiMi B and Pothoo for driving directions!We are very happy with this campground.
We will be in Nashville Sat. and Sunday night. I hope we are able to see some bands play. I am really looking forward to this weekend! This is our last tourist stop before we arrive in MD. It is business from here on out.
