Where, oh where, is the Water?

Went to Hiram 'Hank' Williams Museum this morning. Wasn't aware that he started singing at 7 yrs old and died at 29 of heart failure in the back of his baby blue 1952 Cadillac on the way to a new year's gig in Canton, Ohio. The poster for the show advertised "If the Lord is willing and the creek don't rise, I'll see you in Canton".  Apparently He wasn't willing.
  After that we went back to the RV and drove 189 miles to Red Bay, AL. We were suprised at the camping prices. Two years ago the cost was $10 per night. Now it is $25. Registered for service on the RV which might begin on Monday and then went to Spark's restaurant in Belmont, MS, for a fried chicken dinner. Will have to entertain ourselves this weekend as the whole area shuts down for the weekend. And we get satellite, but no sound. Barely telephone service, and no wifi! Ya gotta love it!
  Fact: there is no Bay in Red Bay, except for the name. It got it's name from the red clay soil and the bay trees in the area, which are similar to wild magnolias.
