Temperature changes Wed 29,Thurs 30

Hi everybody. We had a great night overnight in Jeff Busby's park and the temp was 60 deg. We were roughing it until the propane heat got the trailer warmed up nicely. The weather was great for travelling there.

Ron's bird pic on our bathroom break at River Bend on the Ross Barnett Reservoir.65 deg yee ha!

Our arrival in Vidalia La.73.9 deg. this is the life-It only took Ron about 20 mins to set up (cement pad really helps) and me 10 mins to put the coffee on.
It is clouding over this evening and thunderstorms are in the forecast for tomorrow but we will be gone by then and heading for the Martin Dies state park in Texas.have to check out the alligators for the fun of it.
Hope y'all have a Happy New Year's Eve and take the next day to recover ! from Ron and I bye for now--talk to you in 2011

on the road again Dec 27

Hi to all our family and friends and followers! Hope Santa was good to you and you have a very Happy New Year. 2010 has gone by pretty quick don't you think .We started out this morning on the road again hoping to make good time and before we even got to Sarnia went through a snow streamer off the lake-slowed us down to 60 k. Lots of traffic at customs so by the time we finally got on the Interstate it was almost 7:30.Lots of traffic on the roads today but great travelling weather. Roads were bare and dry all the way. Arrived here in Shepardsville Kentucky at Grandma's rv park safe and sound.The garmin did a fine job today getting us through Indianappolis and Louisville Ky(Ron wasn't so bad either) whew! Maybe tomorrow it will be a bit warmer in Davy Crocket State Park,its mid 20,s here tonight --soon soon. well bye for now -will be out of touch for a couple of days Take care Dee and Ron

Midnight and Snowflake--the swans at Lakeside RV Park La. Hi everybody, well we arrived home on Thurs, at around 7 p.m. It was a great day for travelling and we sailed right through Louisville Ky and on to Indianapolis.The traffic there was also light and Ron decided to boot it for home.It actually got warmer as we travelled north!!It sure is great to be here. This was a picnic area we stopped at on the Natchez Trace for lunch.The sun wasn't out at the time or it would have looked much different.

A view of Davis Lake -a campground just off the Trace where we stayed for 1 night.

We hope everyone enjoyed our blog this year (even with all our whining about the cold weather.Most of the USA had a weird weather pattern all winter).We did see lots of interesting things by travelling around this year and we met lots of interesting people too.
See you next year-

"Don't drive any faster than your guardian angel can fly"

To all our followers ,family and friends-hope you have a fantastic summer addios Ron and Dee

March 14,15 ,16

Hi everybody, On Sun/14 we arrived at Rocky Springs on the Trace. It was very sunny and warm. The dry camping is free there . They had hosts who had been there since Oct. and really enjoyed their job.
On Mon/15 we headed for Davis Lake Miss. which is just 4 miles off the Trace.It seems to be a big fishing spot for the locals and a really great park to stay in for overnight or a couple of days.The sites were huge and all paved-some long enough for motor homes.
Tues/16-we have arrived at the Davy Crocket State Park in Tennessee. Its 46 deg. and just a bit cool.But were not complaining-I think were both anxious to get home to our own bed .Its been almost 3 months since we left---hard to believe!!
Had another slight rv problem but Ron fixed that as soon as he found the right part here in Tenn.Our next stop tomorrow is at Grammies in Kentucky. So we should be home by Fri unless we stop longer at the next spot.
Hope Eric has made it home safely from the African coast.
Bye for now and see you soon Dee and Ron

SatMarch 13

Hi everybody.Well today was another beautiful sunny day with just a few odd clouds. It was on the cool side but all the kids here didn't seem to mind one bit..This homemade camper pulled in beside us this afternoon.The writing on the side.....Jim's Wild Thang--but so Paid 4--Pretty HuH.....Its from Mississippi and on the back reads GITR DONE.. Recycling at its finest.Its priceless really!!!!

This is the outdoor picnic section of 1 of the rally halls here. It is the largest of the two, right beside the lake.The campers you see in the background are at one end of the loop.

These campers are at the other end of lake and another loop.Its been great for walking.

Tomorrow we head out north into Misssissipi for the Natchez Trace. Our plans are to take our time --But again there's no internet until we hit a library .The weather looks great all week and hopefully no tornado warnings this year!

That police incident yesterday was a murder-suicide of 3 people-mother, father and 3 yr. old son.It happened just down the road a couple of miles.

I sure hope your having good weather and all that snow disappears soon.Have a great night. Bye for now Dee and Ron

Fri March12

Hi everybody,well today was a gorgeous day -70's and sunny. It has cooled down to 63 since but no one here is complaining.We are here in Livingston and the park is really nice. It is all cement pads with a 17 acre lake that has resident swans-a black one called Midnight and a white one named Snowflake, oh and a few Canada geese.No boats allowed in lake!
A couple from Wiarton work here, yes -his job is to escort the trailers to their sites and back them in. They live in Big Bay.what a coincedence eh and not a bad job to put in the winter.
There was quite a lot of excitement in the area this afternoon.15 or more police cars went flying past here and some ambulances . They were heading towards Interstate 10 south of here near New Orleans. We've been listening to the radio news to see what'a happened but have heard nothing as of yet.A couple i spoke with had a 2 hr wait on Int. 12 this aft.on their way here from Houston.They were not very happy.
We found Camper's world today in Hammond and bought a new toilet for the trailer. We couldn't just replace the broken lid-go figure!
On the way home we stopped for cheap gas at $2.54. Its been as high as $2.79 in most stations.It seems its been creeping up all winter down here. Bye for now --Have a great weekend y'all Dee and Ron

Tues March 9

Hi everybody, Well today we found these flooded fields of rice and traps for crayfish. It seems to be a big business around here. We had planned to go south to Cameron but its been raining cats and dogs here with some thunder thrown in too. Thought it best to stick closer to home for the day. (I finally found your yarn Ruth at W. Mart)

Another field of rice. We are at 25 feet above sea level here. We haven't seen much hurricane damage as yet.

Will be at this park until Thurs. when the weather is supposed to pass and be sunny for the next week.From there were not sure just yet. Hope y'all have a great day and we'll talk soon.Dee and Ron
