Why we stay off interstates, we got on one by mistake, a big sign said don't be the 350 third person to die on this highway since it was built! On the Trace for over three hundred miles we drove the speed limit, which was 50 mph and saw nothing but trees, turtles and turkeys! The maps don't keep up with the politicians, one guy promised to get rid of highway two in his state , so he changed it to highway 68, one free way was named after Daniel Boone, but the govenor decided his own name was better, then they changed the name of the state park to some famous baptist minister,it's no wonder we get lost at times!
Didn't make it to Kentucky today, relaxing in Catfish Farm RV park! a very long day, trying to catch up to our daily average of 250 miles, Trish was exhausted, I said wine, whiskey or beer, she said "Yes Please!"

Across Louisiana, gas for 3.33 a gallon in Alex., then to Natchez, Miss., then we found America's best kept secret, the Natchez Trace Parkway, 444 miles of nothing but trees, not one billboard, trucks not allowed, like heaven for us! We have been on it for two days, leaving it this mornng as it nears Nashville! None of those big cities on the way home!
Found our five for 19.99 meat stores, Trish put it in Zip-locks, looks like 14 meals for us for under 20 bucks! Did we mention, there was free camping, three different places on the Parkway! The only negative was heat and hornets when we stopped, really short smoke breaks for Trish. The State park we stayed in to catch up on showers and power our camper battery only costs $13.00! We rave about the prices down here because the cost of living is one half what it is at home! Wake up in Mississippi, drive through Alabama, then Tennesee, and sleep in Kentucky!

Our staycation is at an end, staycation usually means staying home, but we can say we felt at home on the LSU Porch with Lucy and Andy! What a relaxing time we had, we got to meet many of Lucy's family members, and ate ,drank, and sometimes got merry during our ten day stay! Leaving was hard, Trish cried and I also wiped a tear away! They made us so comfortable, as we say, just like home, only much hotter!
