5 - 7 July 2026 Heading out to visit Family

 We left home in the morning on the 5^th to Little Rock (a 6.5 hour drive) where we stayed overnight in Lonoke. We found a great Mexican Food restaurant, Mariachi Grill, within walking distance of the Best Western. The 6^th we drove from Little Rock to Nashville (a 6 hour drive) where we stayed in North Nashville at the Salt Ranch. The Salt Ranch is a remodeled 1950s era motel but the central building was a hospital during the civil war. The remodel was done very well and the central building housed the bar and restaurant where you check in. The street the hotel is on looked pretty sketchy but the areas just a block off the street were nice neighborhoods. We went down to the Five Points area of Nashville where we had great BBQ at Edleys. The first room they assigned us resulted in David getting stung by a couple of wasps which had a nest at the front door. Our second room was good. Only complaint we have about this hotel was that they refused to honor the Booking.com price we had made our reservations through (Difference was about $8). On the 7^th we drove from Nashville to Canton (a 8 hour drive).
