Navy Time

 

On Friday the 7th we again freed the Flying Scotsman from its mooring and continued to head southwest toward Texas. But first we stopped at the Camping World near Cave City to get the final supplies including new sewer hoses.

 

This was a smaller store but now that Camping World bought out Gander Mountain this is the new look in a much larger and combination store ... really great idea.

 



After about 290 miles we arrived in Millington Tennessee and the Mid-South Naval Support Activity, a favorite oasis for us in the center of the country. The RV park and all the facilities there offer a really nice secure place to spend a couple of days and do the needed shopping and rest before the final run; at $21 a night a really great bargain for all Canadian and US military and government retirees.

Across from us was this really fascinating RV with a lot of apparent features in a really compact space for an off road experience. We looked at several of them on line yet couldn't find the make or manufacturer of the thing; but obviously it has a grey water outlet and power connections. The owner came by shortly and opened the rear which houses the kitchen area with fridge, stove, and sink.

 

Then a really neat visitor just beside our RV came to graze. We have spent many hours and miles in Canada looking for animal life and yet here on base were two of these small deer ... wow!

 

And it does rain a bit. The owner of the small rig across from us came home and spent the stormy night in the little mobile cabin ... you can just see the Jeep in front of it ... cozy I guess.

Off on the 9th for Texarkana as the final stop before getting to the Dallas area.
