No problem getting gas around here, friends have said the same in LA (just the news hyping it up).
Sounds like you’re this side of MS River, but be aware a main bridge crossing it on I-40 is closed in Memphis, so avoid that cluster.

Sweet,
I’m going to head south into Louisiana
Let you know if I’ll end up in Mississippi
Thanks for reaching out ;)

Chevyland 05-15-2021 09:41 PM

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 
Our son lives there
I’ll park the motor home and fly back to California
To take care of a few things
The following weekend I’ll fly back
With my wife and daughter for a weekend family visit
Then, finish the road trip up to New England

Yes, those cattle guard bars were quite popular. Several brands were available. Smash-hit was a popular brand. The one you have pictured is the same one I have, the Safe Guard out of Fort Worth, Texas.

Lots of nice trucks. Thanks for sharing.

I recognized those right off! Those bumps in the water in the last picture are cypress "knees". They are popular with wood carvers, and mostly I see them made as a Father Christmas figure. I have one that I have yet to carve.

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 
Yes, I believe I read something about how they flared out to help steady the trees roots system in the mud ?

Steeveedee 05-16-2021 09:51 PM

Re: Let’s see where the wind blows me
 
Given the winds those things see when a hurricane blows through, spreading out some roots seems like a good idea.

Looks like a fun trip. How come i don't see snow in your pictures? Seems every time i take a road trip i only post pics with snow. I must be doing something wrong...

You mean like this? This was me a couple years ago somewhere in Montana.

We only have snow about 8 or 10 months out of the year.

It is really nice here right now, but don't worry I'm sure it won't last too long.


I'm getting my campsite next door pretty well cleared out, but I still need to get somebody with a backhoe or something to cut down the access off the country road. Some years ago the county grader gouged it out so there is about a two foot bank jumping up into the driveway :rolleyes:

You are hard core
I’ve seen some of those trips you take
I wouldn’t even try
This trip has been good weather throughout
Started raining last night and looked like it was going to continue
When I left this morning
So, I turned around and headed north

And it was open

Sometimes you feel like a blip
On the radar screen
Walking through places like this

Looking at its history
