Water,Water,Everywhere





Picked up in Compton California Saturday,and headed to Lakeland Florida and Atlanta Georgia. Running I-10 from California to I-75 in Florida. Ain't much scenery till I get East of San Antonio Texas,unless one likes desert. It really gets boring to me. East of San Antonio,everything turns green all the way to Florida, with water everywhere, from Houston TX Eastward. Swamps in Louisana,Marshes in Mississippi, Mobile Alabama Bay,and river after river through Florida. Fueled in Beaumont Texas Yesterday,and just my luck a tornado went through a few hours later (Always wanted to see one and haven't yet)Pouring rain on and off the past 2 days and my truck leaks like a sieve on the passenger side dash. Poured 30 minutes and I collected a quart of water in a bucket I have on the dash (Pictures of the Battleship USS Alabama in Mobile Bay and of the bay at Pasagoula Mississippi)

Two Weeks Without the Internet









Running my tail off going every which way but home. Finally home a week late, but no problem as I will just take a little more time off before I go back out. From Kansas to Houston TX. From Houston to Knoxville TN, then onto Russellville AR. From AR to NW Ohio then Kansas City, MO. Finally up to Omaha NE then home to CA. In Huntsville TX (home of the Executions) I got a photo of a large statue of Sam Houston. Other Pics
Sunrise on the 18 mile causeway across a Louisiana Swamp, A fancy County Courthouse in Ohio. In Kansas City, I delivered into the Caves (Old Pillar mines, where they made roads and walls among the pillars for storage (pretty bad pictures because of the darkness))Finally the end of thunderstorm along the Great Salt Lake on I-80
