We are on the road again trying to add to our bucket list of things to complete. We are gypsies at heart and will try to visit the National Parks out West, tour Oregon and Washington States, sight see the western part of British Columbia, and Back to Alaska. Of course, we can't not visit Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and any states in between. So, come and join us in our adventure.

Monroe, Louisiana

It was good to see our middle daughter and all the family in Pelham, Alabama. It was warm there , but not what we had today while traveling. I will say that summer is here in Monroe, Louisiana.  It was 92 degrees this afternoon.  Our air conditioner is really having trouble trying to keep the coach cool.  Hopefully we will be able to sleep.  We are not used to this kind of heat yet.
Went to the Vicksburg National Battlefield site.  It was amazing to see how many different states had sent service men to this one Civil War battle.   The terrain was hilly.  The Union soldiers were on one ridge with their cannons pointing at the opposite ridge where the Rebel soldiers were.    What a site.  We then crossed the mighty Mississippi and the terrain was as flat as a board.
We are staying in West Monroe, Louisiana.  All you Duck Dynasty followers, watch for pictures tomorrow from the Duck Command.  Maybe Paw Paw can get his picture taken with Uncle Si.

Signing off for now
