Windshield Replaced and On The Road Again

Yes the windshield was finally delivered and installed by 2 pm yesterday. We had to sit still for 2 1/2 hours after installation until the glue was set. Then on up the road. We drove until dark and pulled into another Camp Walmart. We will have a couple of log driving days until our next main destination.

We have taken so many pictures of farmlands and ranches. We have seen dairy farms, cattle ranches, corn fields, soy bean fields, and today it looked like it snowed. Field after field of snowy white cotton.image image Some fields were in the process of being picked and all along the roadside were balls of cotton. image        Of course I’m  saying “pull over  pull over. I need the raw cotton to show the grandkids.” And to take some pictures too. image    image      We have all seen hay bales but have you seen bales of cotton? Big bales, baby bales,image and Big daddy bales.image We were lucky to see the cotton picking machine. image image Before long we were passing through Kennett, MO, hometown of Sheryl Crow. image       I wonder if she ever picked any cotton, I know she can pick a guitar.

We had to pull off the side of the road and watch this crop duster.image He was an acrobat, making tight turns, then diving toward the field,image   and pulling up just before the electric lines.image   It looked like he would land on top of the cars.image Fun to watch.

We knew we would have a long drive day but we didn’t thinks we would go 447 miles! Doesn’t sound bad when driving in a car but an RV is a whole different animal. That’s pretty far but I’ll tell ya, if we hadn’t driven that far we might not have gotten this. image image image What a sunset just outside of Nashville, TN.
