Florida Spring Training 2017 - Day 16

Today was an easy travel day.  We awoke to sunny skies, no rain and cool weather. We got on the road about 9:30 am after getting gas and another "truck stop mocha".  Actually, none of them ever taste like mocha and all of them taste pretty much alike, be it "French Vanilla", "English Toffee", "Extreme Espresso" or whatever.  The good news is they are usually only $1.00 or less compared to a real mocha at Starbucks for $3.50.

We drove I-20E all the way today with Shreveport, LA and Jackson, MS  as the only cities where we had to dodge traffic.  The road was dry, traffic wasn't too bad and we had very little, if any, wind en route.

We stopped for a late lunch as we crossed the Mississippi River into Vicksburg, MS.  We stopped at a Mississippi welcome center just across the river with a great view of the Vicksburg bridges. 

We are staying tonight in Pelahatchie, MS at an RV park called "Yogi on the Lake". It is actually a regional recreational resort on a local lake with cabins and RV and tent sites. 

As you right gather from the name, it has a Yogi Bear theme throughout the park.  The resort is not exactly upscale and is virtually deserted right now.  The local recreational season here doesn't start until March 1st, and we suspect it is very busy during the summer.  It offers a wide range of activities for families. such as water sports and fishing. It is very quiet here tonight and all we can hear is the faint sound of banjo music in the distance.
