ON OUR WAY WEST - TODAY IT IS DALLAS/FT.WORTH AREA




After our month in Foley, AL we spent 2 weeks at the River View RV Park in Vidalia, LA, across the Mississippi River from Natchez, MS. We toured the southern portion of the Natchez Trace Parkway, toured the Civil War Military National Park in Vicksburg, MS and toured 2 of the many mansions in Natchez. According to one of our mansion guides, prior to the Civil War, Natchez had more millionaires than anywhere else in the States. Cotton Plantations brought in the money according to our guide. Now we are making our way west. We are in the Dallas area for 2 nights - KOA Park, exit 449 off I-20. Then we will be making our way to Albuquerque, NM where we will spend a few days at the FMCA Rally and then head north and try to get thru the snowy mtns.

For those of you following our son's health problems, he is expecting to be released from the hospital on Monday. He will continue with antibiotics via a stint. When his surgeon returns (he has been out of town during Steve's week in the hospital), he and Steve will decide the next step - sounds like amputation but we will see, that may change again.

Here are some photos of our time in the Natchez area: Illinois Memorial at the Vicksburg Civil War Military Park and a couple of mansions/halls we toured.
