It seems like we’re stuck in a rut. We both get up fairly early, but somehow manage to leave th’ RV Parks by around 11:00am.
When we left “Yogi on the Lake” at Pelahatchie, Ms, we were headed to Pearl, Ms and a Murphy gas station. Ol’ JW had read the map and knew exactly how to get there. Well, he took the right exit off I 20 but when he got in to Pearl, he turned left and shoulda turned right. “Bout 10 miles later, still no Murphys, so we settled for a Loves Truck Stop. A coupla hundred dollars later and we were back on I 20 headed for I 55 and Robert La.
162 miles later, we arrived at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Campground Robert, La. (Hmmm, thought it would take longer to get here).
Th’ manager said we could have just about any pull through we wanted so JW opted for th’ closest spot to th’ entrance since a lot of th' spots were either under water or really muddy (the area had a very heavy rain for several hours). Registration and set-up was purty simple. BUT, as JW was hookin’ up th’ water an electric, he felt somethin’ bite him. “FIRE ANTS.” Now if you’ve never dealt with fire ants before, you ain’t gonna like this. They’re everywhere and when they bite ya, (and after you kill ‘em) th’ sting keeps goin' on fer quite a spell. Well, we broke out th’ critter spray and just hope it worked. JW really does not like fire ants.
We got our daily walkin’ in for our weight loss competition with a bunch in Colorado and Texas, so our miles are addin’ up and th’ weight is just a droppin’ like crazy, (HA HA don’t we wish). All settled in, no WIFI and no TV, so hookin’ up th’ DVD player and watchin’ some of th’ many DVDs we’ve never watched. First up, “Million Dollar Baby” with Clint Eastwood. Catch ya later . . .
