Day 1 - LA to MS

We got up this morning so bright and early. Actually, it was still dark at 3am. We unhooked, moved the cars, and took off. No road trip is complete without vehicle issues, right? Our running lights on the bus aren't working and the brights won't stay on. Sigh. At least today is the only time we're running in the dark. I followed redd to the gas station, and we decided to get air for the rv at the TA on University.

Let's just say that truck stop is a hot mess. People sleeping on the sidewalk, unhelpful rv tire clerks, Mexicans smuggling illegals...ok we don't know that for sure but probably.

We decided to hook the jeep up at Target on Louisiana and run until daylight with the hazards on. The trip across the basin and over the MS river was uneventful.

I55 is boring. The driving a/c, while not cold, blew coolish air. We weren't dying like last year.

We had to stop at Camping World in Jackson because we left our surge protector plugged in at the house lol.

Due to the good time we made I called the rv park to see if we could check in early. The lady graciously said yes. We pulled into the Southaven RV Park around 1230. We plugged in our new surge protector and cranked on the a/c. Lord, it took all of 1 year to become a bougie rv camper haha.

I gave baylor a Dr. Feelgood because he is hobbling so bad today. I guess anxiety makes him hurt. We left them in the dark sleeping, and we came to the MS Alehouse. Nice places w/plenty of guest taps. They sell pizza by the slice, which we will be eating soon.

Dinner tonight is Frito pie w/my homemade chili. Haha gotta start things off right!

A new feature for this trip will be Idiot of the Day.

Today's IoTD is a person on I55 going 70mph with someone on their tail who decided that they wanted to take 1 of those "police vehicles only" cut thrus between interstate lanes. He slammed his brakes and slowly took the left. Guy on his tail slammed his brakes and then cut in front of us, causing us to have to slam our brakes. Dummy. We should hit him but I want to take my vacation!
