    Camping an Bass Pro

    We pulled in to Memphis yesterday and after picking Lynn up at the airport, headed over to the Bass Pro Shops pyramid. They have free RV parking here, so we just set up in their parking lot. I’m waiting for my brother to drag his lazy ass out of bed right now, so we can go in and check the place out.

    As a kid, this area was known as “Mud Island” since that’s virtually what it was. The Wolf and Mississippi Rivers converge here and the sediment created the island. As a kid, there was nothing there but some small farming type fields and a small, grass airstrip where people would fly small planes (like Pipers) in to have dinner or conduct business in Memphis. It has quite the history since those days as I remember them.

    Isn't it cool to be able to lay your head just about wherever you want? On my trip back from Oklahoma to Seattle I loved this. Camped in a Wal-Mart parking lot one night because I wanted to catch the chiefs game. There was a bar across the street and I just walked back to the RV at the end of the game slept and hit the road early in the morning.

    Lovin’ it! Sadly, we’re rapidly approaching the end of this 2-month journey. Should be home for Halloween.
