Down the Great River Road!

Yes! The sun has finally found its way back to Illinois. It’s a comfortable 20 degrees, and that’s all we need in life!
This also means that i can have actual water in the camper!! No more craving for coffee in the morning, and don’t even ask when the last time was that i had a shower :-).
Today my goal was to drive to Memphis, but somehow the last 4 days of traveling were finally catching up to me, so i did not travel as far today.
After a good breakfast, getting fuel (110 dollars ) and some provisions ( Chex mix, coffee ) i hit the road again. This time i followed part of the Mississippi River, which by the way is amazingly huge, as our good friend Mr Trump would describe it. In the beginning it seemed like there was not a lot to discover, but when i got more down south I entered the actual swamp land area. Just as i imagined. Unfortunately i could not really stop anywhere safe, so no pictures... After a good 3 hour drive i kind of felt like hitting a campsite a bit earlier than normal, so i could relax a bit longer.
In the evening i actually tried to take some night pictures of the Mississippi River, for a first try i think not too bad. And for the people who want to know how its like to drive in a RV, i actually managed to take a video while doing some driving!

Tomorrow i will decide if i will continue going down the Mississippi River, or take a turn to the west in Memphis.... maybe just let the dice decide!

See ya later alligator!
