On The Road Again, Again

On Tuesday we drove down I55 from Effington to Madison, Mississippi, which is outside Jackson, the state capital.  It was a long drive of about 515 miles with much road construction.  Memphis had especially bad roads and bridges.  Starting in southern Missouri we saw cotton being harvested which was a first for us.

Wednesday was a shorter day of driving.  We drove through Jackson during the morning rush (not too bad) and took highway 49 to Hattiesburg.  From Hattiesburg we took highway 98 to Mobile, Alabama  (narrow with no shoulders) and then south on 181.  We landed at about 1:00 PM outside of Summerdale at the Rainbow Plantation (an Escappee Park).

The sites are level and shaded with live oaks.  We have two trees which provide morning and afternoon shade:

We are about 20 miles north of Gulf Shores on the Gulf of Mexico.   It was 78 when we arrived which is a bit on the warm side.  We'll suffer through it.
