Snuffy Smith and his 'Band of Renown"

 Days 60 and 61 - Monday and Tuesday, September 12 and 13, 2022

Racoon Valley RV Park, Heiskell TN

This morning we remind ourselves of one reason we like to take a summer trip, which is to enjoy cooler temperatures.  But 55 degrees today, dropping to 51 about the time we head out for our morning walk?     Really?     Could this be a Halloween trick when it is still September?  The only places that are celebrating Halloween right now are Walmart and Kroger Grocery stores with their costumes to sell.

Okay, I did bring a warm jacket along.

We have come to our last couple of days in Raccoon Valley and realize there are only a couple of new areas to explore. We cross a cute little bridge to have a steaming cup of hot coffee under the pergola, where  Herb takes a couple of selfies.

I am impressed with the area of the bridge painted candy apple red in order to show where the level part turns to a slanted decline.  Great safety feature.

Afternoon finds us in the park's clubhouse, looking at all the pictures on the wall.  One remembers all the musicians who have stayed here, and we think of our Escapees friends, Tom and Jan, who both sing and play.  Turns out, they did stay here at one time.

A closer look shows Snuffy Smith's band, where the RV park staff has comically given the cartoon characters names of the staff.
