On Monday we headed to Nashville, Tennessee, where we planned on spending three days checking out properties.

Our RV Park turned out to be the second from worst we have ever stayed in and, what’s odd, is that the worst was also in Nashville! The park was badly maintained, our pad was barely long enough to take the motor home and we only just managed to get the sides out before hitting the folks next to us, there was no sewer connection, a 30-amp power supply meaning we could only run one of the air conditioning units and the park was only just off the motorway with the noise of traffic in the wee hours deafening.

We left Tuesday morning and are now sitting just outside Hot Springs in Arkansas. Our pad overlooks the Hot Springs National Park and it is so beautifully quiet that all you can hear are the worms wriggling!

Nashville, Tennessee as seen from the motor home. The city has just ballooned with development. As we skirted around the town, all you could see were cranes on the horizon. Being the country music mecca of the world and having an international airport, I’m sure it will only continue to grow. We have crossed it off our list!

While walking Miss Poppy in our Hot Springs park, we noticed what we think is a Timber Rattlesnake soaking up the sun. He is a poisonous little devil and the last thing we want is for Miss Poppy, or us, to get bitten!
