Homeward Bound

By November 1 we had stayed in WalMart parking lots the last two nights in Mississippi and Tyler, TX. We should be home by Wednesday, the day after elections. We find we really appreciate WalMart's willingness to let RVs park overnight. Here we are in the morning in Mississsippi.
We spent a few hours taking the driving tour of the Vicksburg MS civil war park*Nov 1) where Grant's victory started the shift towards Union successes. We drove the 16 mile loop which is quite an esxperience to see - what all those troops put up with (both sides). Seeing the site, I can now understand how that one position was so important to both sides and really turned the tide of the war. It was going on the same days as Gettysburg. (they surrendered on July 4, 1863).

On October 31 we started driving toward home and it is hard to stop once you do that. California, here we come!
