Welcome to our journey

This is a record of our road trip adventure as we take our first forage into the states with the truck camper and novice camper Daisy Doodle. The plan is to leave tomorrow, the 26th, and spend the first night with good friends inPort Stanley then accross the border at Detroit the next day. From there to the south! Far enough Rob says to remove the long underwear and put on the sandals! After we get a couple of days of relaxation it will be making our leasurely way to California
and up the west coast to Vancouver Island for the middle of May for the anticipated birth of a new granddaughter!

March 31

Cool and rainy this morning. This is a beautiful large and lovely campground but.... THE WEATHER SUCKS!
Talked to a lovely couple from Oregon last night. They are doing the reverse of what we are. They told us about a route called the "Natchez Trace Parkway". It follows the trail of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi via Alabama and Louisianna. It's about 400 or so miles  and heads almost directly south.
So it looks like we won't be going to Graceland but seems like a great adventure. The only thing is we may have to dry camp for a night or so.  I  didn't want anyone to worry anyone (Amy) so  I thought I would post this before we go.
Amy your dad says nothing can happen to us in Lousianna!
Talk to you soon!

    Finally! Some more posts! I was getting a bit worried....what is this "dry camping"???? Sounds serious. I'm glad you three are enjoying your travels - and hope the weather gets nicer soon!

    Michael and Sofia both received their cards and want to say thanks! (I wasn't here to stop them from opening their mail early :)

    Keep the updates coming - it's great to hear about your adventures!
