We are on the road again heading from Daleville, Alabama back to Dallas, TX where John will spend one day unloading the helicopters BSC just disassembled.<\/p>\n

Traveling west in the late afternoon on a bright sunny day is uncomfortable and dangerous too, everyone is having trouble seeing around the sun. Around 3:30 p.m. we start looking for a place to stay. Our normal overnight spot is usually a Walmart, however, John reminded me that today is the last Saturday before Christmas. Yeah, Walmart may not be a good choice.<\/p>\n

Luckily we were passing by the Natchez Trace in Mississippi and John whipped off the highway, literally. I hate it when he does that with the coach. The section we entered isn\u2019t close to any of the campgrounds along the Trace so we opted for a picnic area.<\/p>\n

How fitting that the first one suitable for our rig is Deans Stand? The Deans supplemented their farm income by offering lodging to travelers.<\/p>\n

We have a great front yard, no neighbors, no overhead lights, and pretty much non-existent traffic.<\/p>\n

Our backyard and first glance is pretty nice with a picnic table, bridge and a stream.<\/p>\n

Upon further exploration we find that we are not the only ones enjoying the solitude of this place.<\/p>\n

Apparently we have neighbors after all, the Herod\u2019s. Hopefully they are not a noisy bunch. We need our sleep as we have 400 miles to travel tomorrow, to get to Dallas TX.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m getting excited, only 3 more days until we fly home for Christmas!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
