De Funiak Springs, FL

This morning before leaving the RV park we watched a couple of river boats pushing barges on the Mississippi River. One was pushing 18 barges up river and one was pushing 15 down river. We crossed over the river into Natchez, Mississippi on US 84. Traveling east through rolling pine covered hills. What a change from the flat fields on the west side of the river in LA. It seems like often when you cross a major river you see a drastic change in the terrain.
US 84 is a 4 lane highway that bi passes all of the towns. It's just like driving the interstate only no traffic. As we traveled into Alabama the road became 2 lane passing through many small towns that mostly just consisted of a run down convenience store. It also became flatter and we began seeing cotton fields. At Opp we turned south on US 331 traveling by more cotton and some peanut fields. Traveling on into Florida we are staying at another PA park (Jupitor Lake RV Park). Not as nice as last night but very acceptable and only a couple hundred feet to a lake.

What beautiful and clear pictures you take and send on to your blog. It is so nice you can see so much of our beautiful country.
Nancy, are you a calm traveler now or do you still get nervous?
