The Bates motel and RV Park?

Here we are just one hour from Nashville. We made great time and when Randy started to get tired, I got out my computer and looked up an RV park close to I 40. I called ahead and a very nice man said it was just a short way from the interstate, in a lovely wooded setting. The price was right, too, just 18 dollars. When we pulled in, we discovered that we were the Park's only guests. The friendly park owner was there to greet us and help Randy with the hook ups. He told us he lived on a house boat about a mile away with his mother. (just kidding, he said he lived with his girlfriend) But a house boat? We are in the middle of land locked Tennessee. I told Randy I thought the guy was just lonely because he stayed quite a long time admiring Raven and talking about the park. (the Park with no people) I don't think Randy bought my explanation because I noticed he got out his bb gun and put it next to the bunk. He told me he thought we were in the "Hotel California". I told him that strange things certainly went on at the "Hotel California", but I thought he meant the "Bate's Motel" from "Psycho". Either way, it is strange to be somewhere in west Tennessee, in a trailer park all by ourselves...with Norman, I mean Phil, the friendly park owner who lives on a house boat in the woods. I know one thing, I am not taking a shower until we reach Abingdon.

Good night from Waverly, Tennessee.
