Feb.12, Tues.

Woke to a sunny clear day filled up with gas $-33.8 gal we got on the nathez trace parkway which we went on last year. it is 444 miles of scenic driving and goes thru three states Mississippi Alabama & tenn we got on in tn & drove 223 miles on it- there are a lot of historic sights to stop at along the way-at one point Jackson falls we missed last year it is steep 900 ft trail which leads to the base of the falls - of course rich decided to hike it-he took his walking stick,camera,and phone. I was not going to attempt it- I stayed at the top at a picnic table- it took him 25 mins to do the hike & he said it was harder coming back up- but he made it pictures to follow - we stayed at the nathez rv park that night- tomorrow we will do the remaining 211 miles of the parkway.


Feb 13 & 14th
Weds & thurs
Weds we got back to te nathez parkway- it was a nice day-a little light rain in th afternoon-our next night was at a campsite just off the parkway-but we got a little lost trying to find it-we ended up in a part of miss we would have preferred not to be in especially in a big motor home-we had to end up getting back on the parkway and went in a big circle & and ended up in the same place we started from-an I love Lucy moment- I was finally able to talk to a real person at the campsite- but being that we were in Mississippi it was very hard to understand his southern accent I had to call him 3 times & finally we found the park campgrounds- thank god it was around 5 o clock & starting to get dusk - park sites are not very well lit up- but rich was able to get the electric & water hooked up& there were several more rv,s camping near by so we weren't,t alone we were actually able to pick up a few tv stations

Feb 14th - thurs


Happy valentines day!!!!
We realized to get to our next campsite we would have to drive to Hattiesburg miss where the tornado hit last week - we did not want to drive through the area because it may be hectic & have roads closed or detours - so rich had to figure out new campsite & different route so we made it to a campground in Bay St. Louis miss but it was early afternoon & since we needed lp gas - which runs the furnace- ref- & hot water heater Which we needed at night since it was still chilly at night- we found a camping world rv center which was only couple hours away in Alabama so we decided to go there - we ran into a lot of traffic through Biloxi miss and it took a little longer but we made it - they have full hookups on a first come basis& there were 3 openings so we stayed there for the night (best part is that it is free with full hook ups - tomorrow fri we to get to holt Florida.
