IT'S TIME TO LEAVE!! Randall woke up this morning at 4:30 and couldn’t stand it any longer and woke me up at 5:15. He told me to get up and get ready to go. So up I went and jumped in the shower and washed my hair. Randall in the mean time tended to some last minute details. We were ready to leave by 6:00 and pulled out of the driveway at 6:15, a little ahead of our 7:00-7:30 timeline.
Odometer reading was: 101643
Gas on our fill up was : $2.84 gal.
By 8:30, I was starving and told Randall I had to eat. There is just something about riding and vacations that make you hungry!! We stopped in Magee, MS at 9:05 for Egg McMuffins and to walk Camp a little. Then we were back on the road until we got gas in Jackson, MS at the Wal-Mart where gas was $2.59 a gal. Our total gas this time was $50.05.
At 11:00, we were only about an hour or so from Lake Village which is where we planned to spend our first night. Randall decided that he would rather drive on to Hot Springs since we were so ahead of schedule. We figured we could be in Hot Springs by about 3 or 4:00. That would be so much easier than setting everything up just for one night and breaking down in the morning. So I called the KOA and they said they could take us tonight….so on we go!
It was getting lunch time a little after we went through Lake Village, so we found a very nice picnic/rest area right along the road to have our picnic lunch of some of Randall’s famous homemade chicken salad on sandwich bread, chips, rice kispy treats and a miniature Reese peanut butter cup. Beautiful weather just added to our delightful picnic experience.
We bought our second round of gas at the station next to the park and it was $2.69 gal. for a total of $44.75.
After a long day of driving, we were glad to arrive at the KOA at 4:30. We got a little lost once we got into town and ended up on the opposite side of town from where we needed to be. It seems that two highways have the same name 70B but are not connected somehow. When I called the girl at the KOA to find out how to get there, she said that people end up over where we were all the time because of the Highway name. She said it should be called Highway 666 because of all the trouble it causes people.
From all the reviews I read about this KOA Campground, I knew that it would be very nice, and it is!! It has a beautiful pond with lots of duck and gorgeous oak trees on every campsite, which makes it very shady. Each row of campsites is on a different level because of the hilly terrain. It is very well maintained and I am really glad we are here.
Randall grilled hamburgers and we ate and then watched T.V for a while and we were both asleep by 9:00. I think I fell asleep around 8:00. That riding wears you out.
