With our 10 AM appointment it was not necessary to get moving early. This is a good thing since temperatures sat around 30. We’re roughly an hour east of downtown Birmingham and the tire store. At present the Interstates traveling though the downtown area are closed as they remove the elevated highway to create a city friendly atmosphere.  Last night a friendly resident of the RV park gave us detailed directions to the place since our GPS still believed the Interstates were open. Thanks Lee! His directions spot on as we arrived just a few minutes after 10.

Shortly after noon we are on the road heading west. Marsha suggested we take part of the Natchez Trace Parkway and we’ve both happy with the idea. We’re now set up at a free campsite one of three located on this 400 mile long scenic road.

Grasses and wildflowers as well as flowering trees are prevalent as we move south and west. Temperatures tonight may drop only into the 40’s after a few days with frost ea

Plans for tomorrow are to continue the Natchez Trace Parkway to Natchez then take small roads across Louisiana arriving is eastern Texas at day’s end.
