WE MISS YOU SPARKLE







Sat 4/17 Wiggens- Pascagoula, MS 67 miles

Rode this morning on another lovely day- not a breath of wind- as Katie said this was a ‘why we ride day' as opposed to a ‘what was I thinking' day. We missed Patti ,Team Sweep is just not the same. As we lunched at a gas station/ strange food store, our new friend in the picture described what remained of our route to Pascagoula this way ”Ain’t nothin’ between here and yonder". It totally amazes me that places I would think twice about even stopping for gas at home are now places where I order something to eat- I'm sure that won't last when I return home but the deep fried crabburger on a stale bun with old lettuce, a pink tomato and some other unidentifiable ingredients tasted just dandy! Last 5 miles of the ride we road a long wide bridge over the Singing River and then a longer and higher bridge over the port of Pascagoula with a huge Northrup Grumman ship building facility.

Happy to hear that I am not the only one unfamiliar with BTDT. It was on the Louisiana map as we were leaving the state. BEEN THERE DONE THAT! Stay tuned for another map tomorrow! Oh and the horses ... someones understated front gate- Texas has nothing over Mississippi!
