the start of our trip

Hello, We made it. After six weeks of kickin back and seeing things and places we've been before we officially are at the start of our trip. This past week we spent in Garden City, Kansas (took a side trip to see Greensburg ~ this town was "wiped off the map last year in a tornado" ) They people there are rebuilding the town but it is hard to imagine that a tornado could do this much damage? On a happier note we did see the Zoo in Garden City. After two days we left and drove out of Kansas and through Oklahoma and spent the night in Wichita Falls, TX. Long day of driving but we wanted spend at least three days in Arlington, TX. We needed a rest. Got some walking in, cleaned the RV and did some laundry (just like home) on the 5th we went into The Stockyard district in Fort Worth. We enjoyed the sights and then had according to Esquire magazine we had the "best hamburger" in town. That evening we enjoyed a ballgame, Texas Rangers won 8 to 6 against the Yankees. The next day we left for points east, arriving in Vidalia, Louisiana around 3 o'clock. Today we are off visiting the sweet sights of Natchez, Mississippi before we embark on the 444 miles of the "Natchez Trace Trail" tomorrow. Until we meet again

I've been watching the T.V. show about Greensville - I bet it was pretty cool to go through there =)
