Left turn at Slidell LA heading north.

Where are we today ?

Sunset Tv Park Cottondale Alabama Just outside of Tuscaloosa AL

      Another great sleep and up at 5am, raring to go. But its 27f with a wind chill of 17 so will wait for the sunrise. Made a pot of coffee in case Billy Bob  showed up for the journey (think not). Got email read, route planned an a nice refreshing walkabout done. Hit the road shortly after 7:30am. making good time, sun shinning, no wind or traffic, just sailed along, listen to the tunes on Sirius. Made that left turn at Slidell and headed north on I-59 and I-20 Tuscaloosa Alabama. Got only 300  miles done today but that's just fine. Pacing myself incase of weather. And because its so cold will pay to stay in a campground with electric .

300 miles

        Mississippi welcome centre is wonderful, free coffee, love the state welcome centres!

they still had the Christmas decoration up

good roads, great weather and no traffic=perfect

Alabama welcome centre, very friendly too

        Only 70 more miles to Tuscaloosa, pulled into Walmart and picked up a wonderful rotisserie chicken. Good deals here only $4.95 and I wil get 3-4 meals from it. Love chicken, almost as good as on my WeberQ. Fueled up at the Pilot ($1.90.0 a gallon) here in town and pulled into the Sunshine Rv park down the road in Cottondale AL. Nothing fancy but clean huge sites and 30 or 50 amp full hookup sites $29.00 a night and close enough to the interstate I can be back on in 2minutes in the morning. No water because of the freezing temps but no matter to me, they have washrooms here.

nice huge sites.

       Got a nice walkabout did some more weather watching and have a route almost planned for tomorrow. If all goes well should be home with my honey sunday afternoon about 4 pm.
        Then I warmed up some of my chicken and a cool fresh salad I made sure hit the spot.

did I tell you love chicken?

      Now the highlight of my day got to chat with Suzie for a while again, so nice to hear her voice. Darn I miss her.

      If read some other blogs should check out this one Sassy's on 'Da Road click HERE. She wrote this wonderful posting of the great visit we had with her at Pilot Knob California before Christmas. Thanks Denise,we were so glad to be able to spend some more time with you and share a meal.

       Now this was a good day, just kinda mellowing out and will be on the road in the morning towards Knoxville Tennessee and I-75 northbound. The weather forecast looks cold but not bad weather so far. I can handle cold (don't much like it) just will not drive in bad weather. 

       Thanks for the visit and hope you had yourself an awesome day too!

       The map below is about the same route almost that we took heading west.
