We were ON THE ROAD AGAIN today.
My first order of the day was to take a picture
of the Spanish Moss I had seen as we
arrived at Hidden Oak RV Resort, yesterday.
Spanish Moss
looks like someone is trying to dry some laundry,
high up in the trees.
Louisiana license plate was at our
overnight camp ground.
Mississippi had one of the most
inviting and hospitable
Welcoming Centers
of all the State we have visited.
The first thing they asked was,
"Would you like some Coffee?"
That is Southern Hospitality for you!!!
The Oak Eagle
was carved from one of the Oaks
destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, by Marlin Miller.
Story of the Oak Eagle
One of the fascinating displays at
the Mississippi Welcome Center
was a Quilt by Children.
BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI had two beautiful
buildings in its skyline. The tops were
like an open cutwork steel steeple.
Fourteen miles further East of Biloxi, we
crossed into ALABAMA.
We stopped for gas which was $3.39 a gallon,
and I met the owner of this car with
a very special license plate.
Vietnam Veteran
Plate.
I saw a sign directing folks to
the USS ALABAMA,
and can only assume that
is the name of this ship in
the Mobile Bay harbor.
It seemed fitting to have the
American Flag
in the picture too.
We arrived in DeFuniak, Florida
at the King Lake Resort at 2:54 PM.
By that time the steady rain let up,
and we have settled in for the night.
Tomorrow will be a long day,
333 miles to get to Southern Oaks RV Resort,
Summerfield, Florida.
Today's trip was 282 miles and took
us six hours, including
our lunch which we prepared
and had with us.
Please pray for our safe travels tomorrow.
