Indian Creek RV Park, Amite,
LA, to KOA, W. Memphis: Left
pretty early this morning at 8:30. Good
thing, because when we left the campground I said we should turn right, and
Mike said we should turn left. We turned
right and of course I was wrong. This
park is in the middle of nowhere on little country roads. So, now we had to find a place to turn around
so we could get back on I55. I found a
side street where we could turn around, figuring there wouldn’t be very much
traffic. Turned onto the side street and
started backing up, without the help of our walkie-talkies. Mike was back there
somewhere trying to guide me, but I couldn’t see him. In the meantime I’m in the middle of the
intersection and Mike is holding off traffic.
Finally I gave up and pulled onto the side street and waited for the
traffic to get around me. A guy stopped
and asked Mike what we were trying to do.
He told him we were trying to get back on I55, and he told us to just
continue on the side street we had just turned onto and we’d run right into it.
Okay then. That’s what we did. I drove
until we got through Jackson, MS. I hate
driving through Jackson, but I did it. Then we stopped for fuel and food and
Mike took over. We didn’t get to W. Memphis until after 3:00. A long day today. And we hit some major pot
holes. It’s a wonder we didn’t blow a
tire or something. A stressful and long driving day today. We’ll probably be
here a couple of days since there’s bad weather north of us. As soon as we feel
the weather is clear from here to STL, we’ll make a dash for it. 59 today for the high. But it’s going to get
cold here tonight.
