Monday Natchez Trace

Most aggravating part of Military retirement health benefits is dealing with Tricare. Tricare West had not problem filling both of my adhd medications. Went to have them filled in tricare north, didn't want to do it because it was a duplication. Explained to pharmacist and he called Tricare north and was able to fill. Went into Hohenwald today to fill my Concerta prescription. Tricare south said can't do as it is a duplication. Didn't bother with having pharmacist call them as they were out anyway. If they were out, why in the H did they notify Tricare South anyway???? Express Script mail order filled both of them... DUHHHHHH.
Picked up some chicken, fried okra, potatoes and gravy and macaroni and cheese at Wal-Mart deli and stopped at the Merriweather Lewis State Park and had a picnic on the way back. It is one the Natchez Trace Pathway. The Trace is over 400 miles of two lane road running between Nashville, TN and Natchez, MS. No stop signs, no traffic lights, speed limit 50 miles an hour and is closed to commercial vehicles. It shadows the old Natchez Trace. Lewis was on his way to Washington with his records and accounts of the Lewis & Clark expidition. He stopped at Grinders Place on the Trace and was mysteriously shot and killed on the night of Oct 11, 1809.
The park contains the cemetery where he is buried. They have erected a monument over his grave site. There is also a marker about him and the park. Lewis county was named after him.
Another hot one here, although there was a breeze which helped some. Yesterday was a record for Hohenwald for that day, 102.
Tomorrow suppose to be around 101 here again. Bad news is that it is suppose to be 103 in Arley tomorrow. Hopefully we will have 50 amp there so can run both a/c's. Tomorrow we will be moving to Hidden Cove RV Resort southeast of Arley, AL. It isn't to far into Alabama and 10 or 15 miles off of I65, about 140 to 150 mile trip. May not put up dish there and if I don't, probably won't be another blog until Friday when we arrive at Abita Springs, just north of New Orleans.
