Almost made it halfway today.. I thought I was closer, but the GPS time coupled with the time change has me messed up. I've got 2 hrs. more to drive than I thought! The day started out at about 50 degrees, but warmed nicely. Sunny, clear skies the entire way. There were quiet a few characters out on the freeways today. While moving down the freeway doing about 70 MPH one guy pulled up next to me and rolled down his window. He then held up his cell phone and was letting whoever he was talking to, hear my car. Not leaving well enough alone, I then dropped it down into 3rd gear (2.73 gears) and let him really hear the car. haha..
I look pissed in the photo, but was really happy, just a little cool..
Crossing the Mississippi River at Baton Rouge
Atchafalaya River Basin. Thousands of years ago this area WAS part of the Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi River silt filled in this area, so now we have land/swamp..
I'm now sitting in a hotel room at the Beau Rivage Hotel/Casino in Biloxi, MS. The valet guys let me park the Roadster on the valet parking level, back in the corner all by itself, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
Looking at the weather for tomorrow, it looks like I'll be slithering into Palm Beach, FL. mid afternoon tomorrow, just as the low pressure moves off to the North! Time to go cover the car, lose or /make a little money in the casino and get something cool to drink!
Update: 3 free beers while playing video poker & won $18.00.. Don't get any better than free beer after drviing all day! Tomorrow starts at 4:45 AM! G-Nite!
