Moviepark RV Park, Canton, MS, to KOA, Hayti, MO: We left Canton, MS, this morning at 9:30 with me behind the wheel. Stopped at a little town an hour or so up I55 and had breakfast. After breakfast I continued driving for another couple of hours. Stopped and switched about 20 miles south of Memphis, TN. Going through Memphis they had I55 shut down to one lane for a few miles, so that slowed us down some. Then we stopped in W. Memphis for fuel and continued on. The area between W. Memphis (across the river from Memphis) to Hayti, MO, is flat, flat, flat. They grow cotton and rice in this area—but mostly cotton. Hayti is in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Isn’t that a great name—Hayti? Shades of something—not sure what. Probably the Old South. Staying at a KOA in Hayti. Arrived and got set up by about 4:15 or so. Took longer than we expected. Hate these long drives. 73 here though. Tomorrow we leave for St. Louis. Should be a much shorter drive. We’ll get home Sunday afternoon sometime. Monday the weather is supposed to be rain/snow mix (sigh). 39 for the high (sob).
