The beginning

After leaving home on Thursday, Oct. 28 we spent 4 days in IL/MO with mechanical challenges.  But we managed to make lemonade with sightseeing, a picnic, and meeting lots of wonderful people who helped us get back on the road finally on Monday, Nov. 1 about 4 PM.  Traveled to Sikeston, MO for an overnight and had wonderful Lambert's brunch on Tuesday before traveling to Jerry's cuz Rick's home northeast of Memphis.  Spent Tues. evening catching up and eating pizza.  He has done an awesome job fixing up his home - very comfortable.
