Starting the "Odyssey" and running from Irma


A lot of you have been wondering when we were going to start blogging about our present trip, "SW Odyssey" Well, here goes...
On Sept. 5th we started out for South Carolina to visit my mom. Our plan was to stay in SC for 4 days and then head west, however, Hurricane Irma had different plans for us. After a visit of one day we decided to get out while the getting was good so off we went to Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA. We stayed at North Shore Resort where we had a beautiful lakeside spot.


Day 2 we stayed in Hanceville, AL where the highlight was dinner at Top Hat BBQ. THB was featured on Man, Food, Fire thus the first detour of our trip.
We had pulled pork, fried catfish, fried okra and coleslaw. Yum! We took beer but were told that THB is in a dry county so the beer went back in the car. But...as we were waiting for our meal the waitress brought us two "to go" cups and told us to be discrete! Haha!


Because we were still running from Irma we took off again and several hundred miles later we landed near Memphis, TN. We stayed in Tom Sawyer's RV Park which is on the Mississippi River in West Memphis,  Arkansas. We were so close we could watch barges moving cargo up and down the Big Muddy.

Next up, Memphis, Beale Street, BBQ, Blues and more.
Ta ta for now.
