What Is Located At The End Of Lonely Street?

Heartbreak Hotel, of course!  Our campground is located behind the Heartbreak Hotel.  We are located on the corner of Don't Be Cruel and Blue Suede.  Yep, we are in "Elvis Land".  BOL!   We are surprised that they didn't put us on Hound Dog Lane.   We think we have the nicest site here.  We are a corner site and we have a yard.

The parking lot behind the sign is for Graceland. (This is our front view when a camper is not parked in front of us.)  Graceland is down the street.

Our site.  Definitely a nice yard to take a nap.

There is a huge dog walk area.  It would be perfect if it was fenced.

See, there is a lot of room.
 There is supposed to be a walking/bike trail that goes through the woods and a field. The trail ended, so we just walked around.  Unfortunately, one portion of the trail has a lot of broken glass, so we will not be walking in that area again.
The office.  Mama hasn't checked it out yet.
There are several restaurants right outside our campground and lots of Elvis shops.  Mama said she will go exploring tomorrow.

We passed by my old racetrack yesterday.  I refused to look.  I am retired, so no need to think about the past.  I do think I should receive disability since I broke my leg while working. 

Southland -This is where I spent most of my racing days.  I did a short stint in Florida.

Road Trip Resumes Tomorrow

Our vacation here in Missouri ends tomorrow.  Our next stop is Memphis!  We will be in the land of Elvis for just two weeks. We will also be very close to the track where I did most of my racing.  We will stay in a private campground to start and then we will move to a state park.  We would have liked to have stayed at the private park the entire stay, but the weekly rate is pretty high.  We are not staying at the state park the entire time because they do not have full hook-ups which means we have limited water. Mama really does not like not having full hook-ups.  We are currently in a state park without full hook-ups and our water supply is running low.  The folks are taking showers in the bath house and no laundry can be done.  They do not have a laundromat here.

While we were here, Dad celebrated his upcoming birthday with the family.  His brother's birthday is in July and his birthday is in August. They had a joint celebration.  A friend of Dad's sister made their cake.  It took her four days.

Uncle Rick is the hunter on the left and Dad is the fisherman on the right.





The cake was huge!  It was very moist and tasted great according to the folks.

Hopefully, we will get back on track with regular blogging now that our vacation is ending.  Mama is really behind on her restaurant blog.

Home Again - Part 3

 Well, we just realized that we didn't finish telling you about the rest of our trip home.  I don't know if we even remember the res...
