But sadly it was time leave and continue on down the Great River Road. We were driving down hwy 1 from Memphis toward Vicksburg when an on coming truck somehow managed to throw a stone at us. We never saw it but boy did we hear it. BAM! Diana was driving and did a great job of staying cool and calm. We could not see any damage to the windshield but there was some broken glass on the dash board of the RV. Of course there is no way to clean it up while we are moving so it will just have to wait. When we pulled into the campground we looked at the damage. The rock hit just below the top gasket between the RV body and the glass. The ding was about the size of a golf ball and while it did not go through the glass we knew the glass had been compromised all the way through.
So we call a glass repair company and they came out the next day to tell us that because of the location of the ding, they can not patch it and they do not replace RV windshields. The RV is safe to drive and looks kind of cute with the tape patching the windshield.
When we get to Hammond, LA later this month we have an appointment at an RV service center. We'll determine what to do then.
