We paid for another night at Magnolia RV Park. It’s a comfortable park with free WiFi, well spaced sites, pleasant staff, and clean facilities. The rate is only $21.18 per night.
We decided to slow the pace a little. That was always our plan, to get across the Mississippi River and start our more leasurely vacation. We hope to only drive about 200 miles per day. That way we can spend more time outside the Roadtrek.
I also hope we can start spending more time walking than eating. At this point in a trip I would have lost 5-pounds instead of gain that much. I’ve had too many crab cakes, chocolate malts, banana splits, breakfast and lunch buffets, and cookie and milk for my own good. But they all have been good.
Gas prices in both Louisiana and Mississippi have been in the range of $2.689 to $2.789. That’s much better than the $3.25 we paid in California. As of our last fill up in West Monroe, LA, the Roadtrek overall MPG stands at 13.98.
We’ve traveled a total of 3,255 miles to get us to Vicksburg. I guess there’s only about 9,999 miles remaining.
