Well, we made it to David & Patricia's in Kiln, MS. However, we arrived between 6 and 6:30pm. About 2pm, we text and said we'd be there shortly after 3pm. What did we do for those 3 hours. We sat along side I-12 with another blowout. We couldn't believe the construction, potholes and rough roads. We just congratulated ourselves a little too early about the great time we were making. And, of course, no spare since we had the blow out last week. The tow service sent someone to pick up both tires and get them replaced from a tire store about 20 miles behind us. The first tire store contacted didn't have the tire in our size but called around for us until one was found. We were back on the road about 5pm. Must say that all the people who helped us were absolutely wonderful.
David, Nick and their friend Butch set up the camper for us in their yard. Leveled it and everything. It was nice not having to park, level and set up.
On Saturday we had a very nice restful day. They now own a bar & grill in town. They had a blues & jazz band Saturday night. Went and listened to the band about an hour and came home. Band was very good.
On Sunday, David & Patricia took us on a quick little trip down to the Gulf. Took a few pictures of brown pelicans, laughing seagulls, ducks and loons. The houses south of I-10 are built on stilts due to tropical storms. They showed us some of the damage still around due to Katrina (2005). Nice couple of hours and stopped at a Mexican restaurant near the Gulf. Just a few pictures.
