I got up in time to have breakfast with some of Gerri's classmates that were leaving today. I brought coffee and juice back to Gerri in the room.

This used to be the Church of Christ |
We went downtown and took picture as requested by Hollis. Some of the pictures were downtown and some were near the base.

Downtown Columbus, MS |
We did find the entrance to the base that gerri remembered using. We also found a road that skirted the base with the fence and some of the remaining houses partially visible though the woods and brush.

Last meeting with classmates |
After returning to the hotel, Gerri met with some of the ladies from her class in the lobby and swapped stories of high school and the intervening years.
I went geocaching. I found 6 and didn't find 3 others.
I got back to the hotel around 5. Gerri repacked some of our clothes and we put all but the bags we needed for the night and in the morning in the car.
Tomorrow we plan to drive to Garrison, Texas. About a seven hour drive, so we want to get an early start. That way we will arrive at Herb and JoNell's at a decent hour in the afternoon.
