After one night at a Walmart in Hernando, Ms. a little south of Memphis, we arrived at my friends house near Prentiss. Prentiss is located about 60 miles south of Jackson. Jackson appears to be very prosperous and has a Nisson plant that is over a mile long next to interstate 55. Ken and Ann are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. I have known Ken since we were in the Air force at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Ms. in 1963.
Ken made a spot next to his home for us to park. We plugged in and hooked up the (well) water. Later we tested the water with our meter and found it to be about as pure as bottled spring water. We sure did miss the floride though. (not). Nearby there were several donkeys or mules that made occassional outbursts of a very strange and (loud) sound. Ken is a licensed short wave radio operator and has a very nice computer controlled station. Ann is a fabulous cook and fed us well.
It was mostly hot in the sun (low 90s) but cooled off
nicely at night and we didn't require air conditioning.
One night Ken took us to Berrys all you can eat seafood.
Home of the Cajun pickle.
I bought a jar. Very good, I wish they were available in stores.
On Sunday we went to Hattiesburg and ate the best
Mexican food anywhere. Very authenic.
A very pleasant stay.
