I hadn't really planned on driving through Mississippi, so I found a route that took us back through Lousiana and into Arkansas. Before we made it to the Land of the Downriver People we stopped in Monroe for some soul food.

We had our second longest drive halfway done by the time we had passed Houston and reached Beaumont, Texas. It was definitely starting to look more like Louisiana and less like Texas.

Before we could meet up with Cevonne, JT and the family we had to eat. We drove to Fredericksburg. A little tourist town in the middle of nowhere.

Day 1 - Tuesday This really is the summer of Hipcamp. When the opportunity came up for Scott to do some campsites around Austin we knew this was also the perfect excuse to see our friends Cevonne and Jose. With the time I've taken off of work already I wasn't sure I'd be able to go. Luckily I was given the okay and we were on our next adventure. Brooke did in fact get off and one night in mid-July we were driving as far as we could in one night through Iowa and onto Missouri. Scott picked me up from work with plans to get as close to Arkansas as we could.
