December 28, 2016. Home to Jonesboro.









December 28, 2016.  Home to Jonesboro.  So, here we go again.  Annie Farkley, Harvey the RV and me.  We are on the road again.  Our destination is the Gulf Coast of Texas.  First, however, we will again tour the WWII Museum in New Orleans.  This time, to view Dad's dress uniform which is on display there until March.  Dad would be exceedingly proud to know his uniform is there with other artifacts salvaged from closets and basements across America.  The Greatest Generation finally has a place for its memories.  We will be in New Orleans Friday morning.  I'll have pictures for you afterwards.

Today was a typical first day.  We were late getting away and arrived here about 6:00 PM.  We are in the Craighead Forest Park again.  Today's pictures are typical of a day's drive, barns and other sights along the highway.  There was a cute little trailer in front of an antique store.  I would judge it has about half a century of age on it.  The truck to which it is hitched is about the same age.

I am not sure what the message is on the barn in the last picture.  Apparently the owner has a grievance against local authorities.  The message is faded and hard to read.  I don't know whether that means the owner has lost interest in the fight, or if it means he is no longer able to apply paint to the barn.  I wonder.

We will be near New Orleans tomorrow night.  I'll try to collect some better images along the way.  Good night for now.

I like the new positioning of the "departure" photo! Also love the cutie with the hat. Be sure to throw that Frisbee!
