A quick note about todays run. !st will be a big happy 67th aniversary of my arrival and survival of this life. Also a big happy birthday to my 4 year younger sister.
I did mostly superslab riding yesterday. I took a brief drop down to the MS Gulf Coast at Biloxi. I saw some people picking up something on 1 beach and the rest seemed to be just deserted. I caught a couple brief smells of oil. From the road the beaches looked pretty clean. I was glad to hear last night that they finally got the well shut off.
I also rode the Lake Ponchitrain Causeway/bridge. It is really a wierd felling being on the bike and not being able to see land anywhere. I was only a brief distance above the water most of the time. Fortunately, the lake was quite. It was hot and I found it interesting to see several boats fishing by sitting in the shadow of the bridge. That really was a lot of water to cross. The I got to I10 west of New Orleans. It seems that a major part of that road is 1 big bridge. I understand the need (cost effectiveness) of using the Ponchitrain Bridge design for those watery and swamp areas that needed to be crossed.
It was another hot (97) and muggy day. I did 470 miles. The only advantage of the scoot was that I cooled off really nicely everytime I started riding. When I stopped my shirt was instant sweat. It may be a couple of days before I am back on line again. Now plan to run toward SW TX along US 90. Not much for communications out that way. I will keep it up as best I can. Maybe I will get time to work on the pictures. Milo
