Our current location is the Riverview RV Resort in Vidalia, Louisiana - just across the Mississippi River from Nachez, Mississippi. Its a lovely park and we do have a great view of the barges and boats on the river. The pool is nice, too.

Driving through Miss was very much like Southern Oregon - rolling hills and green. It is still very much like most of the South. There will be some normal wonderful houses with beautiful large yards and grand old trees, then there will be a hovel nextdoor. More nice houses, a trailer, an abandoned house, then a Baptist Church!

Made a stop along the way in Hattisburg to drop some money at the Ford Dealer to fix electrical problems involving the lights and turn indicators.

Nachez is the oldest town on the Mississippi circa 1715. Many buildings are from the 17oos and the 1800s. There is a French and Spanish influence that is not seen in the really old towns in the North that are Colonial or Brittish. There are many "plantations" in the area from when cotton was king! There are numerous really old normal size homes. Many are beautifully kept, but there are many that need a lot of TLC and money.

We had a great meal of catfish and crawfish at the Slough Daddy River Grill. It was my birthday celebration. It was great to get phone calls from the kids and many emails. Garrett sang "Happy Birthday" all by himself and is getting good at singing! We do miss those grandchildren.
