Going To Alabama X

We woke up in West Memphis to rain again yesterday morning, but after looking at the radar map online, we decided that we should leave.  We said goodbye to the Mississippi River and were on our way:

Raining on the river

We crossed over the Mississippi Bridge into Tennesse:

Crossing the river
Tennessee Welcomes You!

And though they didn’t welcome us, a few miles down the road, we were in Mississippi. Three states in twenty minutes is somewhat of a record for us:

Entering Mississippi

I knew I was back in the south when I spotted that first Kudzu vine on Hwy 78, the Future I-22 Corridor:

The vine that ate the south!

Rain rain rain all day long. I really hate traveling in the rain:

We finally arrived in the Talledega National Forest about 3:00 p.m

We got parked and got the trailer set up, while the rain still poured down. I was so glad to get inside where it was dry! This morning, the sun was shining. It is so nice to be back in Alabama!

    I agree about traveling in the rain, not my favorite. Yet your lush view is the end result. Not too bad. 😉 Welcome Home!

    I need a map! Three states in 20 minutes that sounds amazing to us. It would take 2/3 days just to get through one state here.

    Hey Girl,

    Glad you guys made it safe! We are still in NY. Hope to get headed out middle of next week. Waiting to make sure we jumped through all the hoops for our unemployment. Sure will be nice if it goes through… extra money yeh!!! When we get to AL I want to park under that big ol’ tree in your last pic for today and enjoy some sunshine…. the high today was 36 and rain/sleet low tonight will be 24 ugh! Hope to see you guys in about 2-3 weeks… LV U Lyn
