12/29/2023 Still Rolling South...

I started out from a restful sleep with morning in Missouri...

and went through edge of Arkansas

and... now my feet are in Mississippi... (well the rest of my body is here too!🤣) Hurray!

Just a little tidbit for you if you ever wonder why the Missouri map dangles a strange appendage that looks like a boot heel.

Well... thanks to the “Czar of the Valley,” a rancher named John Hardeman Walker, who wanted back in the day to be a part of the new state of Missouri and not the Territory of Arkansas. So you see Congress carved out the Bootheel. 🧐

Also as I drove along I noticed the reminisce and apparently some kind of bug known in the cotton fields here in MS-Delta.

Apparently too this area had reoccurring water issues & boil orders.

Lunch/Supper... Taco Bell was not serving any drinks. 😳

Hotels are handing out bottles of water.

Yep! I decided to stay another cold night in a hotel.

Ole' Blue & Black Beauty were snug outside with a parking lot lit up like Las Vegas!

Now after a nice breakfast minus the waffles (they are made on site with water so it's a no go.)

I'll leave and hit the road for more fun!

I have to admit the trip has proven that everyone is still in the Christmas mood and extremely friendly!

Everyone has talked my leg off as I roam throughout their towns. 🧑‍🎄

Cruising With A Smile!
