Jackson

After a long day on the road I've reached Jackson, Mississippi, along with my new traveling companion, a Garmin GPS i have affectionately named Mrs. Hawking. We are getting along just fine and have yet to argue about directions. She even saved me when i inadvertently began heading towards the East Coast around 4 this afternoon. No serious run-ins with the law either, although i did want to steal a vintage cop car outside of Patty Ann's Restaurant.

Tomorrow the first stop is the Audubon Society in Baton Rouge. I'll pick up the necessary maps, field guides, and phone numbers to call should i happen upon a foul fowl. Then onto the coast where i'll catch my first glimpse of The Big Easy and The Big Greasy. For now, sleep.
