We had a stormy night last night, but the rain was well passed by the time I headed over to the Freightliner facility. I arrived just before 1030 and the part was there as scheduled. The new part looked much different and was nearly three times the size of the original. Plugs looked compatible, though, so I headed back to the coach. It turned out to be an easy replacement. The hardest part was getting my long body between the driver seat and pedals to work under the dash. Actually, that is not quite true. Getting back out was the hardest part.
The moment of truth came when I turned on the ignition and tried the lights. Voila! They worked! Another problem solved!
By just after eleven we were back on the road. Soon we were in Mississippi and crossing the Mississippi River at Vicksburg. We have decided that Mississippi is a state worth returning to. We are particularly interested in the civil war history in the state. Natchez is high on our list of cities to visit, but that will be another trip.
We managed to catch up with the wet weather. While it is not raining, it is misty, and cool. There is lots of mud here in the campground, so we are not venturing out much. Sorry for so few pictures for the gallery on this stop, but Barbara did add a couple of shots of the ducks we were feeding on the pond.
Tomorrow we head to Niceville, FL and the home of Jim and Phyllis Kaiserski. We met Jim and Phyllis on our Bahamas cruise and enjoy their company. Hopefully we can talk them into visiting Orlando.
