Five Sardines in a Can: Day One

A journey of epic proprtions, spanning 1800 miles and four states. Over mountains and rivers, through lush valleys, across dangerous marshes and dry desert plains. A family of five leaves their possessions (most of them) behind and heads west to Texas in... a 1974 Airstream? Stonewall and Sherlock present "Five Sardines in a Can".
Our trip has gone well so far. We arrived in Hattiesburg, Mississippi at 11 o'clock last night. We learned two things about Hattiesburg :
1) It is a happening place. It's normal for all of the motels to be booked.
2) Dandy Dan owns most of the gas stations.
We're about to leave for San Antonio, and will post another blog this evening with pictures. Right now the camera accessories are packed in the camper.

Hi Pilgrims,

I wanted you to know that we gathered together and prayed for you just now as you are a bit stranded and in a less than desirable spot! I am praying by the time you read this, all will be well again and the journey resumed. We love y'all! And, BE CAREFUL!!!
