Wed,Dec 31, Happy New Year to all our families and friends. Have a great 2009!
We finished the Trace this afternoon by 1:00. I spoke to a lady from Bothwell today who has used this route every time her and hubbie come south. They love it too.We are now siitting in a rv park on the Mississippi River in Vidalia La. There have been many tugboats and frieghters go by already. Its about 54 degrees and a bit windy.Its across from Natchez Miss. and everyone has an accent except us and the other canadians here. Ill close for now ,take care y,all luv DD and Ron (ps--Ron is trying to figure out how to send some picture with posting)
Tues,Dec 30. catching up as we had no internet on the trace. what a great highway. i don't think we passed 50 other cars on it.it was a sunny ,blue cloudless sky all day and got up to 70 degrees by the time we pulled off to camp for the night.Had a couple of detours around it for whatever reason and at one time we stopped at gas station and bought gas for $1.36 .It was only a topup --too bad!!Saw many deer just waiting to cross to the other side--had to be on the lookout all the time for them.For the night we stopped at a free campground with no hydro or electric. Our battery got a good workout, and we did just fine. Heated bathrooms---go figure!!
