Now that we're down to more southern latitudes, we're enjoying warmer weather. We're contemplating putting away the cold weather gear for a while and de-winterizing the camper. Our plan at this point is to begin moving westward but not too quickly. For now we're doing...
Along our way west from Sardis we stopped at the sign welcoming visitors to Sledge MS, the birthplace of Charley Pride. There despite high grass and muddy ditches, we located the cache hidden there. Â An amazing aspect of this was that the cache contains it's original...
Awakened this morning under some wonderful big oaks in John W Kyle State Park northwest of Oxford MS on the shore of Sardis Lake. We had some trouble locating this campground last evening. Rumor is there is also a COE campground here but we don't...
