On the ROAD again!

Pavillion across the lake

Well, very soon after I posted that last blog, the body shop repairman called and said that our windshield had arrived, and that he and Orville, the glass-guy, would be by in about an hour to replace/install it!  However, by the time they were done, we had decided that it would be wise to wait until the next morning to leave, and be able to travel several more hours down the road in a full day.  It would take at least two hours to pack everything up and check out, so having a good night's sleep and getting an early start made  sense. But again, it seemed like Fate was against us, as there was yet another snowstorm headed for the southern plains, dumping several  more inches of snow from Dallas to Atlanta, blocking our departure.   So, we hung out for yet another day in Perryville, Missouri, where we experienced a local BBQ deli for lunch.  Also, in another one of those great "Really?" moments, the highway patrolman who assisted us at the accident site came to the campground to check on our progress.  He said he had even come by the night before at 11 PM (when we were obviously asleep) to make sure we had our new windshield installed and hadn't ventured out on the dangerous roads yet.  We have been so blessed with the generosity and kindness of complete strangers during this journey!  Even though it was only six degrees outside this morning, Ken hooked up the tow dolly and our car, and we headed out of town around 8:30 AM.  We managed to arrive in Jackson, Mississippi around 4:00 PM and are now spending the night at LeFleurs Bluff State Park, right on the edge of an awesome local lake.  Tomorrow, we're aiming for Beaumont, Texas and hopefully, some warmer weather, since tonight it is predicted to be around 21 degrees (the ceramic heaters are again on the water tanks, since all the water pumps here in the park are frozen).  Enjoy the pictures, and thanks to all who have called/e-mailed/commented their good wishes to us!
