Ozark to Lake City - Day 9

Well we finally reached Eastern Standard Time.
I began to think I’d be in Central time forever. Not that I mind, Chris is there. But still. We kept going East. It kept being Central.
Today was again a relatively easy drive.
The biggest difference in the landscape is the large sections of forest tht were wiped out by the hurricane that came through a couple years ago and wiped out Panama City.

Meridian to Ozark - Day 8

We had a pretty easy drive across Alabama from Meridian to Ozark, AL.
Along the way we drove through the outskirts of Selma and Montgomery, both places I want to explore more in future.
I also slept really well. Asleep by around 8:30pm and awake by around 4:30am which is normal for me with tired and that much time available. It was nice to feel rested.
So the drive was easy.

Shreveport to Meridian - Day 7

I am very tired.
Combining travel and intensely working on things has worn me out.
Luckily nothing is on fire so outside of writing another email for my own list (I have 6 scheduled ahead now, 2 weeks), and sending a couple of additional notes for client and collaborator communication there isn’t much that MUST be done.
And I’m tired enough I would trust myself to do much anyway. (It’s better to be rested than to have to fix dumb things I’ll do when tired).

Vernon to Shreveport - Day 6
(from Blog )

Today was a longer driving day.
We had some rain. We had some 2 lane roads.
One of the goals of the day was not to drive through Dallas so we were a little out of the way but didn’t have any bad traffic.
As we continued East everything kept getting greener and greener.
Our RV site is nice and backs up to a little forest. Since it’s Lousiana they even have a little statur of an aligator with an arm in it’s mouth at the entrance.
