Express doesn’t mean you get in right away it just means once you get in they will work on as much as they can in 3 hours. Tuesday night we had to dry camp (no utilities) because their 93 site campground was full. But we did get a site Wednesday afternoon and a visit from their satellite guru.
It seems the satellite needs a new control board which had to be ordered. Funny…that’s exactly what Ron told Lazydays the problem was last November!
We just hope it gets fixed…a husband without TV is ugly….especially during Cardinal season.
Our home for a few days. Not too exciting but necessary.
Home..Sweet..Home?!*&!?
Red Bay is a very, very small town..pop. 3256…so there is not much to do here.
They took the coach in this morning so we decided to do some geocaching. We drove to Tishomingo State Park in Mississippi, about 15 miles from Red Bay.
Tishomingo State Park, named after a Chickasaw Indian Chief, is located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and exhibits a very picturesque and rugged terrain.
The park contains rock formations dating to the Devonian and Mississippian epochs of the Paleozoic eras. This is the only location that these two formations are found in the state.
Another historical feature found in the park is a restored 1840’s log cabin. There was a cache hidden there but this one we could not find. However, it took us to a beautiful part of the park, with a waterfall and running brook.
Another distinctive feature of the park is a 200 foot long swinging bridge that passes over boulder strewn Bear Creek. A great cache was found here and beyond the bridge is a 3.5 mile trail that passes by a series of cliffs popular for rock climbing. We didn’t make it that far..maybe another day.

Needless to say there are not too many restaurants in Red Bay, however, we had a pretty good steak dinner at Reeves Fish & Steak House in Golden, Mississippi. It was a little difficult to find, and if it wouldn’t have come recommended I probably would not have gone in from the looks of it. But the salad was very fresh, baked potato cooked to perfection and a tasty rib eye steak. However, Ron's coconut creme pie was still half frozen and definitely not homemade.

Classy sign..huh?
We will be stuck here for Easter…..no Catholic Church in town….all Baptist. We’ll have to drive a ways to find a Mass.
Thanks to my wonderful sister-in law, Margie, for the yummy cookies and my favorite speckled malt balls. It makes being away for the holidays a little easier.
Hope all is well and a Happy Easter to all!
