Tourists in Music City

The Corps of Engineers park were are staying in began to empty late yesterday, and a few more left this morning.  The weekend-people had to get back to w**k (old 4-letter word) and those who are traveling had other places to be.  We stayed in Nashville today to do some minor errands this morning and to wander around the downtown area this noon.  We took some backroads into the city and looked up a Diner/DriveIn/Dive location, although we didn't eat there.

We got a behind-the-scenes tour of a certain cable TV network (click on the photo to enlarge):

This was followed by some other "insider information": where to eat, where to shop, and what to look for while we were downtown.  Here is one local landmark:
The river looks a little higher than normal.  On our way home we took a detour to find the location of another Corps of Engineers facility.  The Seven Points Campground is also east of the city and located on J Percy Priest Lake.  The sites there are more widely separated, and more wooded.

We headed home as the forecasted stores came in right on schedule.  We had quite a lot of rain, but no hail or high winds like elsewhere nearby.  Tomorrow we will pull in the slides, raise the jacks, and connect the car to the rear and head East about 200 miles to Sevierville for week-long rally of other RV people.  There will be a lot of seminars and social activities on the agenda, so our blogs could be a little spotty for awhile.
