Our last two weeks at home have been harried. A rugged storm blew through our area, causing
substantial damage to the roof, leading to its unexpected replacement. Rather than a steady build up to our next
adventure, we were neck deep in contractors and constant hammering. Rain delays caused the work to drag on,
prompting us to postpone the trip for several days. With all the distractions and nerve-wracking
hammering, who knows what we have forgotten to pack!
As we left yesterday morning, our new housesitters were snugly
tucked in, secure under the new roof. We
traveled to Bienville State Park near Morton, Mississippi, and set our first
camp in a remote section of this lovely campground.

We had an added blessing… thundershowers blew through just
prior to our arrival, dropping the temperatures from an uncomfortable 94
degrees down to 78 degrees. Although it
was a bit sticky with all the humidity, we slept comfortably.
We are now headed to Montreat in North Carolina where we
will meet dear friends who were transferred from Texas to North Carolina two
summers ago. We can’t wait to see them!
This year’s adventure will take us into new territory
again. We plan to travel the east coast
as far as we can. After stopping to
visit a few friends and family members, we hope to camp our way through the
Adirondacks and Berkshires. From there,
we plan to take the marine ferry from Maine into New Brunswick and travel up
through Nova Scotia and Labrador as far as roads will take us. Our return trip will cross through Quebec,
upper Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, down through North Dakota (and my wild
horses!), then on to Missouri to visit David’s mother and sister.
We invite each of you to travel along with us and share our
adventures. Bon voyage!!!
