Goodbye Alabama, hello Minnesota?

Contrary to most RV'ers who are headed south, we traveled north to MN to spend time with our kids and grandkids for the holidays. Before leaving AL, we headed to Tupelo one more time. This time we traveled a new section of  the Natchez Trace (a part that we hadn't been on before). This time we stopped at a few places along the way and took a couple of short hikes.

We were glad to finish up at the Tiffin Service Center after being there for 5 weeks (the other week we were in southern AL at Lake Osprey). MN welcomed us with sunny skies and mild temps, unusually warm for November. This weekend will bring about a winter storm with rain turning to snow. This will be the first time we will camp in the snow. 

We're at Dakotah Meadows Campground, near Mystic Lake Casino. It's one of the few that stay open year round. The only bad thing is we have to move every 3-4 days so we can dump our tanks and get more water. Doable, but we'd much prefer to have water at our site. Guess we'll have to wait until January when we head south to get that again. 

Meantime, here's a picture from Alexander's birthday party last Saturday. he is 3 now.
