December 4 2013 - Vicksburg MS to Denopolis AL
Hurrah! Gary got the toilet fixed. You don't realize how many times mother nature calls and when until you have to walk to the shower house! Gary said it reminded him of the old days when you had to go the the out house all the time! After we went to Jackson Monday morning to get the part and Gary took about 10 minutes to install it, we went to the Ameristar for a little bit, Wal-Mart for longer, and back home.
Finally after several says in Mississippi, we reached the Alabama border. I get to add another sticker to my travel map.
We are staying at the Foscue Creek Park. It is a national park, so we get to pay $11 per night. The park had several campers and they came steadily in all afternoon. We found out that this town is one of the top 5 places to be in the US to celebrate Christmas. If you have a chance google Denopolis Alabama. These activities have been shown by HGTV. A cold front is moving in and the driver wants to head further east to the coast to warmer weather. It is easier to just let him plan the trips and where we go and stop. Before each state we google the top tourist attractions, get out the book of Corp of Engineer Parks, and try to coordinate each to the other.
Today, for some dumb reason I'm up and drinking coffee before 8am. This is the view from our site. It is a little gloomy and rain is in the forecast for several days.

Tuesday morning I got up bright and early and we headed to Alabama. We stopped in Meridian MS and had lunch at Olive Garden. Then eastward we headed. I was really excited when Sirius radio announced that XM58 Prime Country was switching over to country Christmas music at noon. Let it play!
