Summer Journal - Bowling Green, KY and Grenada, MS

We spent the night yesterday in Bowling Green, KY. Great trip down but it was a super long day of  driving. There were a number of detours due to construction ... sadly, they either have little money for signs or little interest in putting them out; ...the detours seem to be poorly marked and trail off into nowhere. At one point we gave it up and selected an alternate route on our own. Fortunately we had a fairly good feel for the routes involved.  There was a bit of rain when we arrived. The KOA is one we have stayed at for a number of trips to and from Ohio and have always found it a nice stop ... the site has a concrete pad, table and four chairs and a bench. The full hookups include cable and WiFi. Beckett really likes the large dog run!

The trip to our next stop, Frog Hollow Campground, MS, was interesting. The drive honed my "driving through heavy rain" skills ... folks with no lights on and  slowing to 30 MPH in serious rain on an interstate adds an interesting dimension. Neverless, we got through Nashville and Memphis and headed south.

Frog Hollow is a great campground located at Exit 211 onn I-55! Not too big ... concrete pads ... good service ... would be ideal for a small rally (they have a fully equipped, but not too large rally hall). The campground is owned and operated by Beth and Larry Muschinski, who really give you personalized service. Beth is a frog geek as evidenced by the following pics:

                                                             More frog stuff outside

                                                           Even more frog stuff outside

                                                               Some frog stuff inside!

                                                               More frog stuff inside!

We had hoped to get into Coushatta Casino in Kinder. LA  tomorrow night, but, alas they are having a grand opening of a new hotel and the place is packed. Hopefully, we will try again tomorrow; but, consider L'auberge de Lac (sp?) in Lake Charles as a back up. It is another casino ... we saw Regis Philbin and his wife Joy there a number of years ago and had a great time. They have a dynamite buffet!

More when we get a chance ...
