The hardest part of the day was getting through Atlanta. It took almost two hours to get from just north of the city down to I-285, around to I-20 and just past Six Flags on the west side of the city. And nearly 15 gallons of fuel too. While I used the same 15 gallons in the next two hours, we traveled significantly farther. By the time the day was over today we had used 90 gallons of fuel and made it across to Vidalia, Louisiana.
We are comfortably parked in an RV park that is right on the edge of the Mississippi River. It is gorgeous in here. They have been getting plenty of rain and everything is lush and green. The river is running bank-to-bank and the mosquitos seem to be doing well too.
The park gave us a spot fairly close to the office and our WiFi signal is HOT! Best connection I have had since giving up the hardwire connection at the house. Besides being in a great location for a WiFi signal, it is just beautiful spot. Just step out the door, look left and there the Mississippi. Look a little further left and you can see the two bridges that connect Louisiana and Mississippi.
Tomorrow will be another five or six hours of driving and then we will be in our "home base" in Texas for the next couple of weeks. We'll take our commercial driving test there. But I am not sure how ready we will be. Cyndee tried to study the manual today but every time I looked over to see how she was doing, she was asleep. Yeah, the manual is a real snoozer. But we will have to figure out how to get through it somehow or we will never pass.
More later.
Good Luck to you both. I look forward to keeping track of your progress and seeing where you land. I hope that you have a great summer.

Jennifer, Thanks for checking in with us. Today the drive across Louisiana and into east Texas was beautiful. No big, busy roads, just meandering through moss-draped woods, rolling hills and parishes with lots of character. Check back when you can, John will be keeping things posted.
