We arrived! We left Colorado Springs (friendly and nice Best Western) Friday morning (see picture) and stopped at Amarillo overnight (Drury Inn, pet-friendly and great location, nice folks, but the air outside smelled like cattle pens), then the next night in Fort Smith, AR (the laundry room was handy, but this was the least nice Best Western of the trip), Sunday night in Vicksburg, MS (La Quinta, also pet-friendly and very reasonable price for a HUGE room. We went accidentally to the best place we could have, Rowdy's Family Restaurant in Vicksburg, with catfish plates and AWESOME hush puppies: http://www.discoverourtown.com/webs/vicksburgms/rowdys/ Amazing! Had the free La Quinta breakfast and got on the road with all due haste, making it to Pensacola before sundown... Wow!!! It's warm and lovely down here!
