W. Memphis, AR, to KOA in Meridian, MS: Left the KOA in W. Memphis
at a little after 9:00 and headed to the Flying J just up the road to fuel up
and have some breakfast. After fueling I couldn't find a spot big enough to park, so we just kept going. Continued south on I55 but traffic came to a
standstill just before the I55 bridge over the Mississippi . Traffic just crawled along. Took us 40 minutes just to get on the
bridge. And when we did there was a guy
on the bridge moving traffic cones from one side to the other. No construction
or anything. It’s a wonder somebody didn't grab the guy and throw him off the bridge.
Got off I55 and headed east on Rt. 302.
Then dropped south on I78.
Stopped just outside Tupelo , fueled up again and had
some lunch. Then took Rt. 45 south to Meridian . We've never gone this way before and thought
it might be interesting since it wasn't a main highway. But it was just so-so. Got to the KOA in Meridian and were set up by 4:30 or so. There’s a couple next to
us from Ontario , Canada , in a beautiful 45 foot motor home.
They’re heading to Ft. Myers for the winter. 85 when we pulled in here. A beautiful day!
Wonder what these huge things are? Can't imagine transporting them on this limited-access highway.
