We want to go there, too. But we would never have waited in that line and fought the crowds, either. You're right, it will be there when you return. If you guys make it to Memphis this fall, you would love the Rock n' Soul Museum and Sun Studios.

Ron and I probably enjoy the same music as you two, although our play list isn't nearly as long :-) Rufus plays fetch but his version ends in keep away or tug-o-war. And he doesn't like the water either :-) Nice camp sites too. We made our first reservations!

There wasn't a sign or a guide where people got in line so I don't know how long they waited before they found out it was three hours. I'm so glad we asked.

While Third National was the larger bank, prohibitionists were gaining steam at the time, and the name 'Third Fifth' was seen as a problem. Hence the current name. No joke. :)exploRVistas - Diana and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370218758023274707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-73222880430594834312016-08-23T17:01:31.368-07:002016-08-23T17:01:31.368-07:00Sounds like the line we ran into at the DMV today....Sounds like the line we ran into at the DMV today.

A campground with breakfast and dinner is a new one on me. I’d love to see what they serve. THREE hours just to get in? Come back on a Tuesday. Week-ends are the pits. I’m amazed that people actually waited that long. Would LOVE to see the list of Bill’s 6000 titles. That’s amazing. I think the old is much more attractive than the new towers. Beautiful views and sunsets at your site in PA. You're getting closer to us.

You're not going to drive in forests just 10 miles from Los Angeles - although the ocean is pretty wonderful there. It's so exiting that we get to experience all these difference.

What would happen if you really didn't have cash? I can see that happening. Glad you are enjoying the trees. People from the west coast who visit always remark on the forests.

It was 75 cents. That's all we had in change. We dropped it in and the light stayed red. And, it continued to stay red. It's a $100 fine to run those and they have cameras. We picked up a payment envelope and sent a check in for another 75 cents. Maybe it's a way to get $1.50.Wanderin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/18099094689836499939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-68122982562849525582016-08-23T06:42:33.782-07:002016-08-23T06:42:33.782-07:00Ha ha!
