Thursday February 15th 2018

Today started with fog again. By ten the fog was lifting and the sun was starting to break through the clouds. Overall there was more sun today than the previous few days. The temperature got back to the low eighties. By late tomorrow a cold front will pass through this area. I’ll be a couple of hundred miles to the east so it probably won’t get there until Saturday.

Today was mostly filled with the chores of life. I spent most of the morning on the computer in research mode. In the afternoon I made a grocery run. There is a Super Walmart up the road a mile or so that had the standard assortment of groceries that I’m familiar with. It wasn’t very busy so it was a relatively relaxed shopping experience.

Decor inside the Bass Pro Shop in Denham Springs, LA.

While I was out I stopped at the Bass Pro Shop near the interstate. I rarely buy anything in the Bass Pro Shops, but I enjoy the way they decorate the stores. Each store has an outdoor motif consistent with the area it is located in. This one was modeled after a cypress swamp. The columns that supported the roof looked like cypress trees complete with Spanish Moss. The center pool with turtles, fish and ducks surrounded an old cabin. Some of the fish were huge.

Back at the RV park this afternoon I did some routine maintenance tasks and started the preparations for travel tomorrow. I have about 250 miles to travel tomorrow. The biggest complication will be passing through Mobile Alabama complete with the tunnel under the harbor area and passing by the north side of Pensacola Florida. I also need to by gas in the morning. The stations at this exit to the Interstate highway don’t have very good access. I think I’ve got good options down the road a bit if Google Maps satellite view is any indicator. Only trying will provide the answer.
