The Long Way Home - Day 17 : M I SS I SS I PP I

The Long Way Home - Day 17 - Heading deeper south

Friday, July 10th

We leave Pickwick Landing, Tennesee today and head south into Mississippi.  It's a 190-mile day with Water Valley as the destination.

HOT, HOT, HUMID! It was 95 degrees and what felt like 95% humidity.  As long as we kept moving, it was bearable.  Stopping could only happen for a minute or two or we would melt.  

Even with the heat, Mississippi was fun.  
We were tempted but did not partake.


The cool car of the day is not a car.  It looks to me to be a steam powered tractor!  Very cool - at least they were in the early 1900s.
Our hotel in Water Valley was the biggest challenge of the day.  A little musty smelling, a little dirty, and a few little, uninvited "friends" when the lights come on in the morning.  All that's true except the "little" part :)
Tomorrow we head a bit more south into Mississippi and then west to cross the Mississippi River!
