We left the delightful RV campgrounds at Hidden Springs and headed on to Meridian, MS, also known as Marion, MS. The trip over was 3 hours, but a very nice ride. The highways in Mississippi are really nice. Two lanes each direction, with a wide grassy, median in between. Tall green trees lining each side, many deciduous and many conifers. This is a very rural area, but there are houses and farms spaced out all along the route. Not like in Texas where you could go for 100 miles and not see a house or a barn anywhere. Also, I saw more cows/cattle grazing today than I did in all of our travels through the wild west, with all their big ranches. The route went through several small/medium sized towns. And I see the houses are landscaped with flowering shrubs, all in bloom. Nice to see.
At one town, we stopped at a Walmart to pick up a few things. They were limiting the number of people in the store to 175. Each person got a wiped-down cart to use. We also used our disposable gloves.
The current campground is another parking lot. Due to Covid-19 their facilities are all closed--the laundromat, the community center, the bathrooms. So, we have full hook-up and are very self-contained. We see our neighbors, but wave from a distance.
We had a Hangouts call with the kids/grandkids and then a sibling/cousin Zoom call after that. It is really nice to be in touch with folk you love in this time of isolation.
Also found out today that Orion worsened with the Corona Virus. Probably won't make it. So sad. And Anica is dealing with the hospital, as it turns out she is his Health Care Proxy.
No photos today.
