Biloxi, Jody & Renato

We made it to Biloxi & Fox's RV Park Wednesday afternoon. When Jody got off work we went over to see them & have dinner. We have been able to see them every day since we arrived. Renato has been busy power washing their home, probably pretty comfortable as it's been in the mid 80s. Fox's is at the back of Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis' retirement home on the gulf. This weekend there is a Civil War reenactment and when I returned this afternoon the war was on. The back of our HitchHiker is about 20 feet from Beauvoir and shakes eveytime a canon is fired, I ducked the first time I heard one when getting out of the truck. Lots of smoke too. AND....to keep us on our toes there is a busy railroad track 300 feet on the other side of us and it's busy all night long too.

Vicksburg, Mississippi

We arrived at the Amistar Casino RV Park at 2pm. Traveling through Arkansas & Louisana we saw that all the farmers are hard at work in their fields. Rice, soybeans & cotton. Lots of large cotton bales sitting beside the fields and the cotton pickers are busy driving their machines. When we crossed the Mississippi River into Vicksburg we were surprised to see the river so low. This is the lowest we have ever seen the river! Where's all the water? We went out for dinner as we didn't stop for lunch, on the way back I dropped Judy off at the casino. She returned on the shuttle bus less than an hour later & presented me with a nice $100 bill! Good going Judy!!!! Maybe we should stay longer????

Off to Biloxi

Today we left Chicken Creek and made an easy 205 miles to Little Rock, AR. We are in downtown Little Rock for the night. Not a fancy or scenic campground but the location is a first for us, downtown & on the Arkansas River. We'll have to remember this place and return to do some exploring next time by.

Chicken Creek Classic rally

Gee, do we look like we are having fun?

Jeff, Susan & Judy relaxing below. Above is our RV club, the Haulin' HitchHikers, at Chicken Creek. This is just part of the total group attending the rally.

The pavilion where we had out pot lucks.

Patches is enjoying the view.

Here we all are at Sam & Ella's Chicken Palace having some of the best pizza in the USA.







NuWa finished our service on Wednesday afternoon so we picked up our home on wheels and returned to the Chanute's Santa Fe park for the night. We pulled out Thursday morning for Cookson, OK and our fourth Chicken Creek Classic rally. It's held at a Corp of Engineers park on Tenkiller Lake. We were among the last to arrive & Wes saved us a nice site right on the lake as you can see. There are 17 HitchHikers here this year. We didn't have any Internet access so I wasn't able to do any blog updates while we were there. We made one venture into Tahlaquah Friday afternoon for some of the best pizza we have ever had. On Saturday Wes broke out his smoker and smoked some brisket and ribs. The weather was perfect but all things come to an end so we packed up on Monday morning & bid farewell to those still here, several had left on Sunday.
