Canal Campgrounds Grand Rivers KY

Tuesday October 12 Next stop Canal Campgrounds located in the Land between the Lakes near Paducah KY.  No reservations took a chance on walk in.  Lucky got a site in the primitive area. Rough terraine but site 17 had been redone last winter.  Very large acorns sounded like bombs land ing on the roof.  Tom Tom again took us the wrong way but got turned around and asked the nice folks at the local IGA just a few miles down the road to the campground.  Here for 4 days.
Played tourist in Grand Rivers on Wednesday.Oct 13  Checked out Patti's 1880 Settlement enjoying Mile High Pie (coconut) and a cup of coffee. Shops, restaurants, landscaped walkways, water wheels.
Good day!!!!!!!
Thursday October 14 went to Paducah for a few hours, visited 4 Rivers Harley Davidson then went to the River Wall seeing all the murals, eating lunch at Kirchhoff's Bakery and Deli, Really good bread cranberry walnut with roasted turkey and swiss cheese yum. Danny had Foccacia bread with grilled chicken roasted red pepper, tomatoes,provolone and artichoke spread. then on to the Quilt museum seeing familiar patterns brought back some good memories, wedding ring, flower pot, star reminded me of quilts my grandma used to make. Then to Walmart for more supplies
Finished out the day with a meal at Catfish Kitchen and a visit round the campfire with our neighbors across the road. Great folks from Henderson Illinois just up the road  Camping with their daughter and husband( he was disabled with heart problems too)  They shared peach cobbler from their dutch oven over the fire.
Great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Friday, October 15 laundry, bathe dogs, boring again!!  Had to book another day here to have a chance to get a site in Poplar Bluff on Sunday. Danny didn't want reservations in case he decided not to go there. :(
Saturday, October 16 Danny gased up the truck for travel tomorrow, walked around the campground and built a fire in the fire ring.
