Where have I been?

Well, not in the car much. Summer just flew by. We haven't taken too many trips, at least not as a full family(and I don't usually take photos when I'm driving). With the fall and winter here, we've gotten out a bit more. But illness and broken limbs are keeping us sidelined far too often.

I'll be adding some photos from the last few trips out and backdating them, one per day starting with yesterday. Just a way to get some thrown on here before I try to get back to adding more often.

Not that anybody looks at these photos anyway. Heh.

Which way is up?

This intersection always cracks me up. So, if I go straight I'll be going North AND South at the same time? Cool.

What is it?

We saw these go by on Interstate 40 in Middle Tennessee a few weeks ago. There were at least 5 of them that we saw. And on the way home a few days later, we saw one of them broken down on State Route 840 in Wilson County.

Some sort of tube or tower? Not sure, but it was interesting.

Old advertising barn

This one has seen quite a few advertisements in its days. It seems one of the oldest mentions "koffee kups" at a 76 (gas station). Most of the white area seems to be a Justin Boots ad, extremely faded. And something about "famous" in the black letters on the upper right area.
Located along Interstate 40 west of Crossville on the south side of the freeway.

I see you!

Wonder if it smells bad in there? This horse was peeking his nose out of the trailer, trying to get some fresh air it seems!

Porky's BBQ

Snapped this one quickly while driving through Crossville recently. I wonder how their bbq tastes? Makes me hungry just thinking about it!

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.
