From Leesburg, VA to South Hill, VA where we loaded the final items from Farmville, VA onto the Food Lion Truck and 3 - 26' rental trucks..  All 4 were filled.  Words and pictures cannot express the scene nor the trip from Mississippi to Franklinton.  The 40 mile drive off the interstate was un-describable.   We drove over more power lines and phone lines then I have every seen down throughout my life and this was two weeks after the storm.
