Apr 20, 2021 – The Best City in Louisiana
In one day, we crossed 3 state borders pulling the RV on I-10 for a total of 470 miles. It didn't help that the I-10 and I-12 sections in Louisiana are among the worst roads encountered. But compared to Louisiana's backroads, the interstate feels smooth. This is Baton Rouge around 3:30 pm. No matter where … Continue reading Apr 20, 2021 – The Best City in Louisiana

Sep 5, 2020 – Three Women of Tennessee
Before bringing our 21-ft truck into the city, we research the parking options. We found this one pictured here on Google Earth and picked out the one spot we thought would give us a fighting chance to get in and out. It's the one with the little red car.
