We arrived at balmy Roosevelt State Park in Morton Mississippi around 5:10pm on the 21st. The trip from Louisiana took about 4 and a half hours including two stops, one for fuel and one for health. This journey was a safe and non-destructive one. Hopefully the rest will be the same. When we got here the office was closed so we had to search for our campsite. If we had come in after dark we'd still be searching. Note to all you full-time wannabes: Get to where you're going before the sun goes down. Unless you're familiar with the campground, selecting a site and setting up in the dark is NOT fun.
The campground itself is really nice. Very thick forest surrounding a small lake. It has a lot of amenities including cabins, a lodge, a pool with a large water slide and of course lots of individual campsites. Ours is full hook-up, which for you uninitiated means it has a sewer up. Something that is not a must but it makes life a whole lot easier. Without it you're constantly watching how much water you're using, so as not to fill up your gray water tank to quickly. Or God forbid your black water.
It's been very humid since we got here. I'll bet humidity has been in the high 80s or low 90s, especially the day we got here. Fortunately our camper's A/C works quite well, in fact too well at times. We're off to Cheaha State Park in Delta Alabama on Friday. I really enjoy seeing new parks throughout the country. They've all been great so far. I don't count Escapee's RV Park, it was just a mobile home park really, but the stay there served its purpose.
Well dear readers, it's time for me to put this edition to bed. It's Friday morning and it's "moving day". Remember what I said "Get set up at your new camp before dark!".
Hello Andrew! Long time no talk! Just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying your blog very much! You and your wife are very brave and adventurous! You will love retirement, and I don't think we need to worry about you getting bored. By the way...Even though you had a great career at AT&T,(you were one of my favorite bosses) I think you may have missed your calling. Your writting skills are quite entertaining, you could have been a famous author. Of course, you still have time to do that with your travel tales.
