On to Hattiesburg, MS.

Today was travel day for us. Hard to believe we have been in Mississippi since October 31st. We were all packed up and down the road before lunch.  The trip was uneventful with the exception of a small traffic jam due to, what appeared to be, a fallen light pole.  We arrived around 2:30 and were setup shortly thereafter.  The grounds in the park are very muddy from all the rain.  Ucky!

After getting setup we drove around Hattiesburg.  The damage from the tornado was extensive in some areas.  So sad to see what some people lost.

The smashed white metal object in the bottom left corner of this picture was a vehicle.

Tonight John and I ate at our favorite BBQ place in Hattiesburg…..Leatha’s.  He had the ribs and I had the pulled pork.  It was very very tasty.

    We have had our share of tornado's around the area of the Ranch,only thing I ever lost was some shingles and a metal shed.It still is amazing the power these storms have and the selective damage they make.Be safe out there, Tell John to watch out for low leaping kangaroos. Sam & Donna..

    I guess you are heading south for the winter? We too will be heading that way come March 1. We are so excited about finally getting to go and retire from the everyday rush. No more getting up early for w%^k. Drinking coffee on the patio after a long walk...which reminds me I need to pack our lounge chairs.

    Wow, tornadoes can be sooo scary. I'm glad we don't really have them here, not like that anyhow. Looks like a hurricane ripped through. :-(
