June 19, 2019 Cherokee Landing, Saulsbury TN

Wow what a day.  We slept in later but not as late as the day before.  Whatever was bugging Steve yesterday was not doing it today.  We didn't have very far to go so we didn't leave the park until  10 :30. We took the rural roads and drove about 115 Mike's.  We arrived about 1:30 with one potty stop.  We didn't pack a lunch.  We got to the park and had to wait at the ranger station for a ranger.  They were very nice and took us to a pull through spot a so we could have 50 amp service.  We half way hooked up and  found we could not get satellite service.  So we packed up and moved. They do have better cell service here but not by much.
We began the set up routine.  Steve has been telling me that we need to put checks under the tires whether we think we need them or not.  So he forgot to pick up one in the first spot and he ran over it and  broke one.  He failed to put one in at the second spot.  So we had the blocks under the front.  As soon as the trailer came off the hitch it rolled off the blocks and dropped on the truck.  Steve says we will need a new truck bed.
Anyway once we got set up we were sweating like stuck pigs.  We haven't stopped.  We tried running the air conditioner but we blew the 50 amp circuit breaker. So no air.  We drove around and checked out the reat of the park.  It is really run down.  The sites are on the small side.  They are over grown with weeds and have tree limbs hanging down over them.  The laundry has 2 washers and 2 dryers.  They are worn but it is clean.
We finally BBQ'ed the steaks which Steve swears were pork steaks.
We sat outside and decided that we din't really need to see Graceland.   We are going to try to extend our stay at Turkey Creek  in Branson.  At least we can have air conditioning  there.
Back in the rig to  sweat some more.   I cut out my pieces. for the "movie theater" block.  Won't get to sew it until we get to Turkey Creek.   We will try to cancel Arkansas place and spend a week in Brabson.
The TV and games.
