Old Cars

Today we awoke to cloudy but sunny skies and a forecast of no rain until Wednesday.  We also learned of much devastation in Tuscaloosa Alabama and we were grateful that we had left.  We spent yesterday watching weather reports and analyzing Dopler Radar, but we were comfy and got through the storms just fine. 

With the ground still soggy, we are holding off until tomorrow before we hit the hiking trails again.  This morning we decided to go to the Tupelo Automobile Museum which had a slew of old cars and tractors.  Joe was sooooo happy !  I saw lots of cars with features that we remembered but that no longer exist.  Example: The Wind Wing....that little window where cigarettes ashes were flicked out of.  Another thing was that fuzzy material that was on the ceilings...I remember scratching it and it would come off like dust.  Bring back memories for you too?  The hood ornaments were fun to look at also!




At the campground we had a lot of people arrive late last night.  How they get those big rigs parked in the dark is scarry and this morning there were no open campsites.  By 930AM, a group of 8 RVs who are in a camping club had vacated and so now we have open lake side sites.  So, we will have to walk around and check out all the new tenants and their RV's....Lookie-Loo !!  xxoo TML
