Elvis has left the building! We were into Mississippi within minutes. As a matter of fact, while exploring Memphis the other day, we “accidently” crossed the state line into MS. Meanwhile, AR could be seen from downtown Memphis. We hadn’t realized we were at all 3 states. Anyway, onward to Jackson, MS we went.
Here we are. The campground is fairly simple but the lake with the proverbial ducks makes it pretty. We could have paid a little more to be lakeside but we don’t sit outside. Look out a window? Well, Jim gets an awful glare on his laptop so the scenery we’d see while our fat asses veg, is blocked by privacy shades. If we smoked, we’d be outside enjoying the view. Oh well, give up smoking, give up beauty. See how that is?

Above/Below: Home for the evening here in Jackson, Mississippi. The campground is named “Wendy Oak’s RV Park”.
Above: in the campground, on the edge of the road sits this vendor selling flags. Gay pride, Confederate, POW-MIA, American. He’s got it all. He doesn’t care who or what you are, just buy a flag.
Above: The description is below. Wake me up when you’re finished.
Above: This church found it necessary to create a vehicle corral, complete with barbed wire. Scary.
We drove around the downtown area for a while and then came back to the RV for dinner. We’ve decided to go to New Orleans a day earlier than planned. We’ll leave a day earlier and see if we can spend a couple of extra days in Unadilla, GA. We really like it there.
We finished out our thrilling day with a Walmart shopping trip.
So many purty pictures! Love the ones of Dasher and Clea - especially the one where she's belly up in the sun! Aaaah, that's the life.
ReplyDeleteThe Welty House is amazing. What is it about Tudor homes? They are just so storybook.
But the church van inside the razor wire fencing is the funniest thing I ever saw. What's the real message here? Are church vans really that much in demand? And shouldn't you go to double hell if you steal one? And isn't the razor wire a little bit of overkill? I mean, even if you did manage to get over the fence - where are you going? Nice mean church affect though.
Alix, I like your caption better for the church van. Something about the high demand.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys, now I've got Johnny Cash in my head singing, "I'm going to Jackson...."
ReplyDeleteThe captured church van is hilarious. It makes me want to spray paint it through the fence!!!

The doors and windows on ground level to the church are even covered by black gates. These people need to get some faith. Must be sick puppies.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of Dasher and Clea!
