Our Location: Big Buck Resort
(205 Sparks Road, Hornsby, TN)
A nice day, no rain but a few snow flurries before lunch time, but just enough to make us say, 'Is that SNOW?' No wind today which made it much warmer outside. I believe we reached a high today of 47F/8.3C with mostly over cast skies and a lot of frozen water hoses this morning. Not ours, I disconnected it last night before dark.

This afternoon Riley and I busied ourselves doing a few chores and an errand. We headed off to get fuel, drinking water and exchange a propane cylinder. Those things accomplished we came to home to have some lunch before dumping all tanks and disconnecting the water hose, putting away all hoses, black and drinking. Tomorrow we have a few more little things to tend to before we head off.

We've changed our original plan and will be heading to Benton, AR tomorrow instead of Corinth, MS. We've decided to follow the same route as this past spring when we came home. We will head through Memphis and Little Rock and then hang a left onto I-30 toward Dallas-Fort Worth. We think the further south we head now the sooner we'll find warmer weather. The last few cold days have convinced us it's what we both want to do. A call to my dad tonight had me easily convinced we're doing the right thing, they had a blizzard yesterday and more snow today. Too early for the white stuff in my opinion. Brrrrrr....

| I love these trees, the colour is so vibrant... |
 |
| The leaves will be turning quickly now since we've had a heavy frost... |
We are planning on going back to the little park in Crosbyton, TX and perhaps staying a few days at the BLM land near Carlsbad, NM before heading toward El Paso. Those are the plans at this moment but who knows what might happen. We shall just point the nose of the Dogsled and head off.

| This is where the wedding took place yesterday. |
We tidied up and did a few house keeping things, including making a pot of hamburger soup (ground turkey for us instead of beef) for the next few days. It's always easier to heat something up than it is to figure out what to cook on travel days.

| This is the other water spot on the property. You can fish in this one, also has paddle boats available. |

So as you can see another lazy day here at Big Buck. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit. On this day we remember those that have sacrificed so much for us, wounded, killed and missing, we should remember them all. Men and women that stand and have stood between us and the evils of the world that would destroy us but for these braves souls. Such a gift they have given us all. Thank you.
A couple of birthday wishes to my uncles Lyle and Don. Lyle's birthday was yesterday and Don's today. Happy birthday gents. I hope the day has been filled with all good things.
