1000 miles and still going

We breached the 1000 mile mark for this journey and that doesn’t count all the local traveling we’ve done in the Honda when camped. Today we’re in an RV park connected to the Hollywood Casino. It’s a great place and only $10 a night! The cleanliness and services exceed campgrounds that cost nearly $30 a night. Several of the nearby casinos also have great food deals like a $2.99 all you can eat breakfast buffet. So, if we gamble a couple hundred bucks away this week, we’ll be about even with what we would have spent elsewhere.

After boondocking a couple nights in different areas of Mississippi, it’s nice to have full hook-ups again. The generator is acting up so I have to go over everything this week. I may end up calling a mobile RV repair guy I found advertising on a flyer here. Maybe I can barter computer repairs or eBay training. We were hoping to find a few collectible stores that might be candidates for our eBay brokerage services but the casinos are in the middle of miles and miles of farm land. We’ll have to hit Memphis for that instead.

While in Memphis today, I had the old fatigue wash over me. The only thing unusual I noticed in that area was an inordinate number of massive electrical towers. I don’t know if that contributes to CF but we did have a power station near us in Satellite Beach. I’ll keep my eye on the power lines as we travel. So far, I’ve felt best in Georgia and Alabama. Mississippi seems to have pollution problems. Gera and Ed’s allergies were acting up in Tupelo and Olive Branch but so far, so good here in Tunica.
