Another change of plan

The number of new COVID-19 cases in the US has been doubling every few days. Doing the math, that would mean roughly 1 million cases, 3 or 4 weeks from now. Things are getting a bit crazy.

So instead of carrying on as per original plan, we are heading  home. We expect to be home before the end of March.

We went grocery shopping a few days ago in Lake Charles, LA. The store was packed! All the usual shelves were empty. We haven't really taken an inventory but I think we are stocked for 2 to 3 weeks, easily enough to get home.

And "get home" is becoming a priority. Things are changing too fast.

This was our spot in Roosevelt State Park near Jackson MS, March 17. It was very tempting to stay for another day or two, but we decided to carry on home. 

The washrooms and showers are locked up and the only way to communicate with park staff is by phone. No one is in the park office.
Tara really dislikes the RV when it's moving, it stresses her out. At the end of an 8 hour stretch she's completely worn out.

Tomorrow we plan to overnight in a state park near Chattanooga, TN. After that it will probably be Walmarts because the state parks are closing up at an alarming rate. Interesting times we live in.....
