Graceland

Spent a night at Graceland RV Park. Major thunderstorms kept us up most of the night. Toured the mansion, airplanes and car museum. It was interesting to see where Elvis lived and the tour was narrated to give you history and details of the home and how he and his family spent their time there. There was a constant stream of tourists, can't imagine how much they rake in at that place! He and his parents and grandmother are burried here. There is a meditation garden which is quite moving.

Back on the highway that afternoon we stopped at Johnston City,  Illinois. We stayed at the Arrowhead Lake Campground, which reviews refer to as a "hidden gem".  It was, and the gentleman who manages the park, Danny, was the sweetest man. He gave us a great site which overlooked a beautiful meadow...private, and it was extremely reasonable at only $18 for the night! We have met soo many truly kind souls and good people on this trip.

This morning we headed back out and have landed at the Dayton, Ohio, KOA. This is our first KOA. Pricey!!! It's beautifully landscaped and the services and facility are top notch, BUT not necessary. The other sites we've experienced work just as well and you don't really need all the bells and whistles, especially when just staying overnight.
