First Congo On The Road

Day 2:  We awakened to the promise of a warm sunny day for our last leg of the journey.  The drive was blissfully uneventful.  We stopped for lunch in Hattiesburg (Brett wasn’t home) and debated Wendy’s or the Plaid Rhino.  Some of us thought this might be our only chance to eat at the Plaid Rhino but others were hungry for a Frosty.  They are right next door so we split up.  I was in the Plaid Rhino camp.  Good $7.00 burgers but the fried green tomatoes were sliced a little thin.

Arrived at the Mission House in plenty of time to unload stretch and take a walk on the beach before Packer time.  We got a slow start to the walk so we walked through the entire first half.  Good choice!  Passing fellow campers with heads down and news that Brett had our beloved Pack down 17-3 at half.  Oh well, sun is shining. Temperature is in the 70’s.  The beach is pretty well cleaned up of Hurricane debris.  No complaints.

Met (briefly) with Craig of Back Bay Mission.  He cheered on the Vikings as he is a fan of the local boy.  It looks like he will have us demo an exterior wall and reframe it as well as framing the interior.  If we get far enough we might run rough electrical.

A trip to the grocery store and a pizza shop and we are all ready for the week.

Stay tuned.
