After our rest day in St. Francisville and sustained by a wonderful buffet breakfast, Don set off. Headwinds buffeted him most of the day, but we were thankful the rain held off despite threatening skies. Penny meanwhile had a very frustrating day, having not only lost Don for
2 1/2 hours, but managed to lose herself in the process as well! In fact she found herself in Mississippi by mistake! Consequently there are no photos to publish today, as she spent much of her day studying the map. Eventually we both arrived in Bogalusa at more or less the same time. This city seems to be a somewhat deprived area of the country, added to which there is a paper mill that casts a thoroughly unpleasant smell throughout the town.
Tomorrow we cross into Mississippi (again for Penny) if the weather holds. However severe weather is forecast and we are currently ensconced in a brick built motel, again not wanting to chance tenting in this unsettled weather.
Yours on the Road,
Don and Penny

Hey dad. Hope the weather holds out for you. It's nice here in Sedona. We just got here (late Friday night). All is well with the house.
:-)
Be safe out there.
Your trip is bringing back lots of memories from our daughter's trip around the perimeter of the USA in '85 (11,500 miles in 10 mos.)when "WANDERING WHEELS" was in that same area! You're doing such a great job keeping us updated on your travels! We're cheering you on in prayer, dear ones! Zephaniah 3:17 again! Sandy Johnson
