Ryder Cup Over, Moving on to Memphis!

When we planned our cruise to Hawai'i for Bob's retirement, driving back from San Diego at it's conclusion was hard to believe "it's over."  Boom, just like that.  We had that same feeling driving back from Medinah Country Club after the Ryder Cup was over.  So much planning, time spent, etc.  Boom.  Just like that.  It's over.

Monday was a rest day, and day to enjoy the company of our parents.

Tuesday was our last day at Sycamore RV Resort.  We really enjoyed our 3 month stay.  Off by 10:00 a.m. and to Mahomet, IL for the evening and the Tin Cup RV Resort and a hammering of the Hometown Buffet in Champaign, IL.  We put a hurt to it.

Wednesday, we split with our parents in the morning (always sad) and headed towards Memphis, while they headed towards Wilmington, OH.  Pretty uneventful as we stopped mid afternoon in Benton, IL at the Benton KOA.

Thursday was our arrival mid afternoon at our home for the next month at Tom Sawyer's RV Park in West Memphis, AR.  Our site has a clear view of the river, but it's down so far, all you can see are the tops and flags of the barges moving up and down the river.  The Mississippi River is amazing.  We're sitting in a spot that 18 months ago was 12 feet under water.  Now, it's 6 feet below normal.  Sand bars are clearly visible where water should be.  Amazing.
