It was a great day for a ride, clear with a high of 25C so
that is what we did. We headed north on highway 61 then ventured off on to some
secondary roads. We ventured through some very barren areas with swamp (bayou) on
both sides. I was fine with not seeing anybody or housing as long as the road
was hard topped. It was going fine while driving on top of levee but then we
hit a detour and this took us on a narrower road but still hard topped. The
road started getting more and more broken up and then down to one lane. We
stopped to check our location with the gps and while checking I could see
traffic in the distance and it was confirmed by the gps it was highway 61. This
was good news but we had to get over to it by following the current road we
were on. So we just took it easy following the so called road and drove right
through the middle of a farm with the farmer watching us. Finally we reached highway 61.

Heading back to Vicksburg see saw a highway sign for Cracker
Barrel and decided to try it out as we have never ate at one before and have
seen the restaurants throughout our journey. We enjoyed the food and were both
surprised on how fast it came to us.
While approaching the Cracker Barrel, Cathy spotted an
outlet mall across from it. So guess what - yes, we spent some time looking
through the stores.

We returned back to the coach and relaxed having a drink and
enjoying the sunshine.
That was it for the day...
