Its about 7 am and we are getting ready to go to Quality Camp Ground for the week. I'm taking our Pontoon with so we can watch the fire works from the water. Don & Carol will meet us at the camp ground around noon. Well we made it to Quality Camp Ground with the Pontoon. This was the first time I ever pulled doubles. Come to find out that I did not have any lights on one side of the trailer, I had blown a fuse on the 5th wheel. Don & Carol also got here in find shape and we set up camp for a week. Don & Carol son and grand son show up about 5 pm for the week end. We all had beef and noodles that Carol had made up. One of the best that I have had in a long time. I will try and get pictures of the camp set up and post them.

Wednesday we Don & I took the Pontoon back home because it is just to hot to do anything. Don & I stopped for breakfast before we headed back to camp. Today is Thursday and we are taking the wood back to Don house because it is so try and we did not want to start a fire. After that we did some garage sales and then stop at the Casino for about and hour before we headed back to camp. Stay in the 5th wheel for while and then went to Denny's in Marshall MI for supper. 
Its Friday and we pack up and headed for home. Its is suppose to be 104 today. Well home safe and sound and every thing put away till the next time.

Tunica Mississippi

Well we have been here in Tunica MS for a couple of day now with Don & Carol. We just drove around to get a idea what is here the first day. Yesterday we hit all nine Casino, had breakfast in one and supper in another as we pass through. Got home around 9:30 p.m..
Friday we did drive over to Herdando MS to a Wal-Mart store so the ladies could get a few things. We drove around and saw a lot of rice patties in the area. Today (Sat) we are planning on going over to Tunica MS and look around there. Not much in Tunica MS to see but did find this along the river.

We went to Memphis TN the other day to a flea market and just drove around looking at Memphis TN. Drove past Graceland where Elvis lived but did not stop. Our friends Don & Carol went yesterday to Graceland to look around. The price of the tour is expensive, but I guess if you are a Elvis fan it does not matter.
All Lois and I did yesterday was stay around the camp site. It seems that I have injured my back some how. Pains going down my leg and in pain most of the time. Looks like we are going to head home sooner than we planned so I can get this check out.
Here are a couple of pictures of the Casino we went to. It is only two of the nine that are here in the area.
