GEORGIA, ALABAMA & LOUISIANA

Well traveling quickly now to get to Fort Worth to see grandson Sam. Went to Plains, GA home of President Carter. A tiny dying town--one of the things we saw all across America--that unless a town was of a certain size they were all dying. Had breakfast at a wonderful local diner and bought some fried peanuts--I have never had peanuts this good in my entire life--saw the Carters home and headed out.
Made it to the middle of Alabama where we stayed at another Corp of Engineers campground. As usual beautiful on a massive lake.
Next day headed on to Vicksburg, Mississippi. The entire town is a living museum to the Civil War battlefield. Fun fact--since the city surrendered on July 4th they never again celebrated the 4th of July until after WWII. Stayed at a beautiful RV park connected to a Casino on the Mississippi which is very broad here--wonderful dinner and free breakfast.
Still moving on--the south is wonderful--everyone is so much kinder than even in the west--they are not Yankees down here.
