Brandon, MS

25 Jan 10--Arrived here in Brandon, MS, a little town outside the capitol city of Jackson, late this afternoon...too late to do anything with our LEAK, so we have to wait till tomorrow to tackle that.

We are at the Timberlake Campground, on the banks of the Ross Barnett Reservoir. The reservoir looks like a really, really big lake...we were told that there are 5 RV parks on the reservoir...this one has 165 campsites on it.


We took a walk around the park after we set up the RV, and it looks pretty nice (if you are into RV parks--haha). At this one you can pay a little extra to be right on the edge of the water, or you can pay standard fare to be in the interior. The interior very much reminds me of the Outdoor World place we stayed with Ellen in Maine.
I am not crazy about all the trees, especially with satellite TV, so we picked a spot on the outside loop of the park. I need a clear shot at the southeastern sky for a good signal!

There are a lot of people who live here full-time...you wouldn't believe how many people have boats and jet-skis parked outside their RVs. This place even has mail boxes that look like the kind we had in San Antonio. And look at this trailer and 5th-wheel...clearly these people live here year-round...they even have decks and swings set-up!



Our plan had been to go sight-seeing tomorrow, but now we have to tackle the LEAK, so we will probably have to wait till Wednesday...wish us luck!
By the way, my sister Julie said in an e-mail that she was surprised we didn't just strap ourselves to the RV during the storm and climb atop the RV anyway...I wish she would comment on the blog so everyone could share in the laugh!!! That goes for Walter and Marie also!!!
