Hurricane Katrina

This was taken from the car-because, well you couldn't really get out safely around here. This is in Gulfport, Mississippi, about 2 weeks after Katrina devastated the area. My sister lived in Gulfport at the SeaBee base, my mom in an apartment in Long Beach. We got passes to cross the railroad tracks just south of the base in order to head west along 90 to get to my mom's apartment. This boat was several blocks inland in someone's yard. The wood was mostly from cargo trucks that had been parked at the Gulfport port-about a mile away.

There was nothing left of my mom's apartment.

Road music

This is what we've been listening to for the last few years while on the road. Brad Paisley. Garth Brooks. Toby Keith. Or any country radio station we can manage to pick up.

And this one sort of sums up our road trips-Time Well Wasted. :)

Look out!

Gotta watch out for those hazards in the road. In this case, a tire(probably from a truck's retread) on I40 somewhere between Nashville and Knoxville.

Spandex Road Trolls

Not my saying! I heard that on the radio one morning. They were discussing whether or not bikers should be on certain dangerous roads in the area.

These are on a back road somewhere between Franklin and the Natchez Trace.

Yummy!

Gotta love the trucks that show the product they are carrying-especially if it is food! And even better-ice cream!
