After breakfast this morning we walked around the campground.  I found a terrapin on the road and I moved it onto the grass so it wouldn't get run over.  We noticed an empty site close to the lake.  The lake is really down because of the lack of rain.  We moved the Casita to the other site.  We hung around camp a while and then drove to Paducah, Kentucky.  On the way we stopped at Metropolis, Illinois and saw a large statue of Superman.  We found a geocache near the Superman statue.

We drove to downtown Paducah and went into a few antique stores.  We also walked to the river where the Ohio and Tennessee rivers merge. We stopped at the visitor information center and got a map of Kentucky and of Paducah.  They told us where to find the VFW and we drove there, had a beer and talked to the people.  After leaving the VFW we found three more geocaches.  One was at Grace Episcopal Church and one was at an old house’s detached kitchen which was used as a jail during the civil war.  We went to Walmart and picked up some groceries and then back to camp.  It just started raining.  The remnants of Hurricane Isaac are supposed to bring rain tonight, tomorrow and on Sunday.
