Traveling to Elvis’ Birthplace – Tupelo, MS

Saturday, April 12th

(Tupelo, MS by way of Natchez Trace Parkway) Hi 81° F, Low 60° F
This morning we packed up and headed north on the Natchez Trace Parkway to Tupelo, MS.  Tupelo is the birthplace of Elvis Presley.  We’re big fans of Elvis and we plan on visiting several Elvis-related landmarks.  After another leisurely drive along the Natchez Trace Parkway we checked into The Campground at Barnes Crossing.

The Parkway passes very close to Tupelo and the campground is about a half mile from the Parkway.  It’s a very nice campground that is beautifully landscaped and terraced.  We’re planning on staying for three nights and checking out the area around Tupelo.

After checking in at the office, we followed one of the employees to our site and he helped us back into the site.  It was a little tricky but I was able to back it in on the first try.  We then started our setup routine.  There was only one location that might work for the satellite dish to have a clear sight to the satellites.  Luckily, we were able to aim it just over the RV and under some tree branches and we were able to get it working.
The rest of the evening we just relaxed and took it easy.

I know this isn’t a very long entry but some days are like this.

Thanks for following along!
