Need a little help planning a vacation route. Marilyn and I are leaving for New Orleans on the 18th. We live in NW Iowa four miles from HWY 71 and plan on going straight south through Kansas City and Springfield. From there it's anybody's guess as to what route we take but the general plan is to come into New Orleans from the west, leave going east, visit her brother in Mississippi, follow the river north and see my sis in Bettendorf, Iowa on the way home.
We plan on spending ten days to two weeks. We aren't real interested on seeing big attractions but I would like to visit a friend north of Branson, so we will cruise through that town just to see what it's like. Marilyn wants to stay over at a plantation somewhere in the south for a night. As I understand some of the plantations have a B&B setup. Our interests are more in small towns and everyday rural life.
This is the first time in our married lives we've been able to take a trip like this and we're really looking forward to it. It's a laid back kind of a trip with no deadlines except to visit with a landlady in New Orleans and Marilyn's brother and family in Mississippi.
So, any ideas as to what we could see between Iowa and New Orleans, and then along the Mississippi from the gulf going north? Thanks. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
