Carson Village, Birmingham, Alabama
Today was moving day. We traveled 252 miles away from my brother in 4 ½ hours; actually keeping to our original schedule! Blaine said it was “about as easy a drive as you can have.” Thanks, Lord! We surely needed that! What did I do with all those hours? I spent the time sending our pictures from the past week to David and my mom (not ALL of them 😊) and working on and ordering Christmas gifts. Get ready Mom and Dad – UPS and FedEx will soon be beating a path to your door! 😊
Once we hit the Mississippi boarder, there was soooo much trash lining the expressway! And the ‘parking area’ (not really a rest area, just a place to stop if you need to) where we stopped for a minute so Blaine could take a break, was just as bad. Blaine says I should write the governor. It truly was horrible! In addition, many billboards we passed advertised ‘Clean Restrooms’ as their main selling point (the words with the largest letters), so you have to think this must be an issue in Mississippi. It left us wondering if our campground would be clean.
Okatoma Resort & RV Park, Hattiesburg, Mississippi
The campground Blaine chose is very clean, and very nice. Whew! The neighbors are a little close, but the rest of the area is filled with space – there’s lots of land here, and lots of ponds scattered here and there and everywhere, and the owners/volunteers are very welcoming.. And it’s quiet, and would be very, very dark if not for the security lights.
And in case you’re interested, 654 acres of this wide open space are for sale. . .
Not the campground though. : )
Each one had a different critter on it. : )
but discovered later that this part of the road is one-way.
We had a few minutes before the sun set to take a walk around.
It’s this color because the sun’s setting.
We better get home quick, we didn’t bring a flashlight, except for our phones.
