We are finally in Louisiana, Vidalia, home of Jim Bowie, in a campground looking at the Mississippi Bridge and a riverboat Casino, the American Queen, tied up in Natchez,Mississippi, tomorrow we will belly up to the bar at Post 145 , American Legion in Leesville,with friends we met way back in April! Hawks every-where today, our trip is truly blessed!
Yesterday morning, the campground roosters roosted us out early, but after empyting our shitter, taking pictures of the fowl ,including peacocks and peahens, goats, having showers, we got on the road by noon, but soon gained an hour crossing into Alabama!
Stopped in Clanton, Alabama at a Wal-Mart for the night! One of Paul's (short cuts) took us over some steep mountains, nearly as bad as the Alleghaneys. Wednesday, on the road by 7 am, Trish wearing sandals, with her newly painted toenails , me wearing sandals with socks, she just loves that!
Eight in the morning the Pit BBQs were started up in anticipation of todays sales!
We were in Mississippi for half an hour before we knew, same thing happened when we crossed from Tenn. into Georgia!
Stopped for lunch in Strickland, MS, only roadhouse for miles, a gentlemen stopped and asked if we were selling shrimp, Trish said no, he asked what were we selling, She said nothing, we are travelling from Canada, I guess we could have said Donair meat from the Windjammer, but we are taking that to Leesville, along with the secret sauce recipe from Maha!
We have one for Jeff Foxworthy, You know your a redneck, when you take out a window pane and stick your stovepipe out!!
