RE: Slow Cooker Recipes
1 roast (we like rump roast)
1 or 2 cans Campbell's French Onion Soup (depending on size of roast)
You could add veggies, but we like to make it just this way. Then we have some with veggies and slice some for sandwiches.
The French Onion Soup also makes a good dip for French dip sandwiches on crusty bread.

RE: Near the beach CG between Daytona and St Augustine?
We stayed at North Beach Camp Resort in St Augustine last year...really liked it...right across the street from the beach. We took a day trip to the Daytona Speedway--didn't take long.
If we ever go back to St Augustine, we would definitely stay there again!

RE: Maggie Valley NC
We've stayed at Stone Bridge the last 2 years for a few weeks in the summer. The place really went down hill last year and we won't be going back. In the 3 weeks we were there last year, they never cleaned the rest room floors, the walls were covered with mold and the roof leaked. The pool was ripped out of the ground and there was only a mud pit where it used to be. Stop at Snappy's restaurant for a great meal, the Wheels through time museum is super if you like antique American made motorcycles. Another outstanding restaurant is in Waynesville called the Chef's Table. Go see the elk in Cataloochee Valley -- best in late afternoon/ early evening.
Hate to hear that about Stone Bridge...but always appreciate getting updated info about rv parks.

RE: Maggie Valley NC
We always stay at Stonebridge and really like it. Joe b. mentioned Waynesville, a few miles east of Maggie Valley. The Mast General Store there is worth a visit as is Nick & Nate's Pizza.
South of Waynesville heading toward Brevard, you will be in Transylvania County, which is the home of lots of beautiful waterfalls. There's another pretty waterfall between MV and Cherokee (Soco Falls). And you can get on the Blue Ridge Parkway just west of MV.
If you like BBQ, there is a place within walking distance of the Stonebridge RV Park.
We like Maggie Valley because it's close to everything, but not "busy" like Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.

RE: Need to find a GREAT RV park on FL Beach this summer!
Don't know if you are interested in this area, but we stayed at an RV park in October that has all the amenities you listed! It is North Beach Camp Resort in St Augustine. We loved it--large private sites with lots of vegetation between each site; FHU; right across the highway from the beach; 2 restaurants within walking distance.
Please check their website www.northbeachcamp.com There you will see two pictures, click 'more' on the one on the right and it will show you the map and all the amenities, etc.
I highly recommend it--we would definitely stay there again! Plus, we had never been to St Augustine before and really enjoyed our visit. If you have not been, I'd like to suggest a visit to the Fountain of Youth Park, the Lighthouse, and there is a trolley downtown that I used to see the city...very inexpensive and about 20 hop on/hop off stops around town.

RE: campgrounds near clarksdale, MS
You might want to look into the casino's up in Tunica, Ms.
X2 -- Sam's Town, Hollywood, Harrah's casinos all have RV parks and Clarksdale is only about 35 miles from Tunica.

Corn chowder recipes
I have a friend who is home from the hospital after major surgery. I am going to take her some food and have decided on a chicken casserole and a pineapple upside cake. However, I know she loves corn, so I was thinking about also making a corn chowder, but I actually have never made one.
Any recipes will be appreciated!

RE: Maggie Valley N.C.
We really like Maggie Valley because it's close to most everything but not "busy" and we always stay at Stone Bridge RV Park on Soco Road. It's a nice park with a pretty stream along the back side--a good BBQ place is within walking distance and just across the hwy is a place where they carve bears, etc. from wood using chain saws (interesting to see)
Here's a few things I would recommend to see/do in the area:
1. Waterfalls--Soco Falls on Hwy 19 between Maggie Valley & Cherokee; Mingo Falls on Big Cove Rd about 5 miles out of Cherokee; and in Transylvania County, NC, there are lots of waterfalls of all sizes.
2. Someone mentioned Waynesville and the Mast General Store. I would also like to mention that within a block or so is a great pizza place--Nick & Nates.
3. From Waynesville heading toward those waterfalls, you will cross over Cold Mountain (of the book and movie)
4. As others mentioned, you can get on the Blue Ridge Parkway just west of town.

RE: Deviled Egg Recipes
Mash the yolks and add a little mayonnaise, mustard, and chopped sweet pickles (not pickle relish), a pinch of salt. Spoon into egg white halves and sprinkle with paprika.

RE: Bucket list for the SE United States
We've visited a lot of the places already mentioned--here's a few I can add:
1. St Augustine, FL
2. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, FL (home of the mermaids and manatees)
3. Mt Airy, NC (Mayberry) a delight if you're an Andy Griffith fan
4. the waterfalls in Transylvania County, NC
5. the Cherohala Skyway from Tellico Plains, TN to Robbinsville, NC (be sure to visit Joyce Kilmer Forest along the way)
6. Monroeville, AL if you loved 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. The Courthouse used as the model for the one in the movie will make you feel you have stepped into the movie. In April each year, you can attend a play of TKAM (wonderful-we've done that). Also lots of Harper Lee/Truman Capote memorabilia.
7. Cumberland Mountain State Park--beautiful waterfall, scenery, rv park, restaurant. Nearby Crossville has an alpaca farm and a structure known as the Minister's Treehouse--have to see to believe.
8. Memphis, TN--Beale Street, BBQ, Graceland, The Peabody Hotel where you must see the Ducks as they make their daily entrance to spend the day in the lobby fountain!
9. Vicksburg National Military Park, MS
10.Since it's my home state--here's a few other places in MS that I would suggest--The Natchez Trace, The Blues Trail including Morgan Freeman's Ground Zero Restaurant, Tupelo to see Elvis' old home & museum, and my town of Columbus--home of Tennessee Williams and Friendship Cemetery which inspired the poem 'The Blue and the Gray'

RE: Turnips
I love turnips cooked with greens, but my favorite way of cooking is just cut in pieces, cook in water, and when done I mash them like potatoes and add salt and butter.

RE: asy 2 Ingredients Pineapple Angel Food Cake
I have made this many times but use the traditional Angel Food tube pan and bake as directed on the box. Serve with fresh berries and whipped cream.
I like the idea of the tube pan.....and I am wondering if other canned fruit could be used...like peaches?

RE: Photographers - What DSLR do you have?
Last year, I wanted a new camera--got lots of advice on this forum--did a lot of research on the internet...ended up getting a Nikon Coolpix P500. My daughter just recently bought the new version which is a P510. Mine had 36x zoom, I believe hers is 42x zoom.
I love this camera! Here are some of the reasons:
1. It has a viewfinder. A lot of cameras don't, but it was something I definitely wanted. Sometimes in the bright sunlight, that screen is difficult to see. I did a lot of searching before I found a camera with this option.
2. It is light in weight compared to some other cameras I looked at.
3. The zoom is great--I love it equally zooming OUT for scenery or zooming IN for flowers, lizards, butterflies, etc.
4. The panorama option produces some really great shots...I used it a lot in and around Moab last year.
I actually ordered it on sale from Best Buy, then from Amazon I ordered a kit that included a carrying case, 2 tripods (one is tabletop, the other free-standing), extra memory, and the thingy that lets you connect to your computer.
It took me several months to find just the right camera.....good luck!!

RE: Gettysburg area - what to see / do?
I forgot to mention that one day I took a day tour of Washington DC using Stars & Stripes tours from Gettysburg. It was reasonable, I thought, and included a number of stops at memorials, a tour of DC offices/white house, etc.
There are several hours at the Smithsonian--I used one of the hours to visit the Holocaust Museum just a few blocks away.
There was a stop at a nice buffet place for dinner on the way back.
