A long day / much progress / never been to Mississippi

I hit the trail at 10 o'clock this morning and drove till 7:30 EST . A long day but good progress made, sitting in a parking lot of a motel in MS using their wireless , plan  to drive on tomorrow and make a large dent in the miles across Texas . New rig handles well and I feel good about towing instead of driving the old Azad .
Later this afternoon I stopped in Coffeyville Al. and talked to a young woman of thirty or so who had never been out of Coffeyville let alone Alabama! Imagine Mississippi only 17 miles away and she had never been there ?!
In a later post I'll tell the strange tale of Sliam Narvoo the traveling New Zelander who's biggest desire is to be a  logger !
Stay tuned....
