Tiffin, our RV manufacturer, got us in the service bay to fix the hydraulic leak the next afternoon. It was a quick fix so we decided to get on the road to Mississippi. We stopped at Chewalla Lake Recreation Area near Holly Springs, Ms. but it was completely unacceptable. Our car was covered by bees as we drove through the campground. There were lots of low branches and the sites were not level. We drove on to Hernando Point COE and found this area to be very nice. We had a view of the lake although we were not on a prime site. We spent several days there so I could do some genealogy research. There were tornado warnings out for the area one night, but the worst of it went north and south of us. We got a brief shower of hail, very small.
Monday we traveled through four states, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri. Allan called to make sure the Lucky Lady Casino was not under water from the Mississippi River. We have stayed there once before. Caruthersville is located near several libraries and cemeteries that I needed to visit for more research. Found some more dead relatives.
We traveled up I-55 to Sikeston, Missouri. I visited Charleston library and did a drive by of my uncle and aunt's old house,and the house I grew up in. I stopped at the cemetery where my mom, dad, grandfather, grandmother, aunt and uncle are buried.
We have had several visitors while we have been here.
Our planned route to South Dakota is St. Louis, Kansas City, Council Bluffs, and Sioux City, Iowa. Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating as snow is predicted in some of these cities. We have decided to postpone our departure from Sikeston until Saturday.
