Saturday morning found us finding a laundromat and having breakfast in Ozark. As we waited for the drying, we had breakfast at the Southern Grill. It wasn't long before word got around that we were rv camping. The people were super friendly. Many of us in the family tried biscuits and gravy with our meal. How is it that southern biscuits taste so good?!
We asked the kids to do some research for interesting stops using roadtripper or atlas obscura. They found a cemetery in Ozark with a pointing angel. Apparently it is a Poke' stop with Pokemon Go. That worked. John looked for a temporary parking place for our giant rv since it was not going to fit through the cemetery entrance. Then we ran to find yet another angel (See The Real Weeping Angel) while making Dr. Who quips as we searched.
Our day brought "almost seeing cities, but not quite." Little Rock was very hidden from the highway. We took one of the last exits and swung back around but only saw the outskirts. Since no one felt strongly, we did not brave the city proper. We found several possible stops in Memphis but again we missed out. First we were going to find the Crystal Grotto in a Memphis Cemetery. Fortunately we called beforehand to find the cemetery closed at 5. Plan 2 was to see the model of the Mississippi River at Mud Island in Memphis. Sigh. The last tram over was at 4. Foiled again. However, we did park next to the 10th largest pyramid in the world which houses Bass Pro Shop! The highway blocked a photo op. Off to our campground at Wall Doxey state park.
