4/10 Saturday Silsbee TX- Lake Charles,LA 80miles
I thought I was going to die of old age trying to get across Texas. WHEW! Came across the welcome to Texas sign that we did not see upon entering- no welcome to Louisiana sign- thanks Barney Sheri for providing our own personal one. Other than the magnificent azaleas that are bigger than some peoples’ houses, it was an ipod day. Boring straightaways forever, scenery was mostly drainage ditches with mud crawfish towers (see photo) and lots of garbage. We have entered the land of unfenced in dogs who like to chase bicycles- well it kept us awake at least. Highlight of the day was a stop- 2 blocks from the hotel for pound of boiled crawfish--aaaaahhh that was good eating- yes we are in Louisiana!
Featuring Mary from Columbus, OH today. Another Go Fast Girl who has become a connoisseur of fine donuts and if we don’t coral her, would take off cross county on the interstates! She never stops.
I wasn't even on a bike, and I'm exhausted from your trek across Texas!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on moving past Texas! They say don't mess with it, but you did and it sounds like you won! xoxoJOY
ReplyDeleteLooks like you headed south and missed Kirbyville....lots of "FLAT" in front of you now! I never came across the horrid "CHIP SEAL" after Texas....that alone was a blessing!
