Bill, Nature, and The Grand Ole Opry

Hello again and thank-you for following along at home. At the end of the last episode we were on our way to Little Rock Arkansas. We arrived there on Saturday just after 2 pm. We stayed in an Rv Park right downtown across the river from Bill Clinton's presidential library. There was an old train bridge that had been converted to pedestrian/bike traffic only and we used it. The Clinton Library area is really a big park c/w his library building and several others. There is also a wetlands park beside it that we toured.
The Presidential Library

Muskrat
While walking around the "Wetlands Park" we saw a muskrat, about 50 turtles of at least 3 different species and a hand full of birds (including a Canadian Goose). The highlight of the walk was seeing a Cottonmouth water snake attack and eat a small cat fish. WARNING NATURE SHOTS COMING SCROLL FAST IF YOU DON'T LIKE SNAKES EATING FISH!!!!!!!

Step 1 Catch a small catfish
Step 2 Make sure fish is out of water.
Step 3 When fish is mostly dead, Open real wide and start swallowing.

Step 4 Make sure you swallow all of it

Step 5 When finished swim away as if nothing has happened
Score this day SNAKE 1 CATFISH 0

Ok you can stop scrolling now.

Old train bridge we crossed

When we got back to the campground this was parked near us. It had Alaskan plates, note the 2 quads on the back of the 3/4 ton pickup.
We quite liked Little Rock and plan on stopping here again on the way back.

We left Little Rock Sunday morning and drove to Waverly Tn and staid one night at a rustic campground( no WiFi) run by an ex-Torontonian, he gave us a deal so there was no talk about the Leafs.

We drove through to Crossville today with a stop in Nashville at the one and only Grand Ole Opry.
June's a little Country

Kelly's a big Rocker

Proof we have been here.
There are shows scheduled every Tuesday Friday and Saturday, so nothing was playing today but was good to go there. June bought a Johnny Cash CD so we drove the rest of the day listening to "The Man in Black" There was just something right about that. Well that brings this episode to an end. You all come back now Ya Hear.
