2 bags of MnM's........

1 grass fire....

17 hours of drivin....

3 hours of yakkin' with great members....

61 times around the Super Dome (******* TOMTOM piece of *****)....

everything else is kinda blurry---had to do without drugs whilst drivin.....



sloppy pic of the speedometer before the trip to Alexandria starts.....I'll get the Banner from ADSMODEAN there at 2p.m. Saturday....

UPDATE: crossing the Mississippi Ribba at Baton Rouge Louisiana.......

a pic of Baton Rouge...looking up-river toward Natchez Mississippi.....

about 120 miles north of New Orleans--the EASY RIDER cafe was torn down--only a couple old buildings remain in the town of Morganza where the movie was filmed...

about 150 miles from into the trip--crossing the Atchafalaya River--supposed to be one of the deepest rivers in the world???

looking up-river at some rusted out train-bridge.........

another river---crossing over it into Alexandria Louisiana--about 180 miles into the trip---ADSMODEAN will be waiting for me on the other side wit da Banner!!!!

I........uhhhhh.......He.....found me....we glued the Banner to the '36 Ranger windshield......

speedometer pic at the relay site..........

ASDMODEAN like the truck--so i sold it to him for $500 and he threw in the last bridge i took a picture of......He told me--just sign below my name to make the sale Official.....

here he is beside his new truk.............................

it all happened so fast---here i am tryin not to cry......

Man! He keeps changin the way he spells his name!!!!




I really think it snowed about 20 minute before I passed this field on my way back thru Natchez Miss-sippi........

i thought this was my house----i was wr...wr....wrong......it belonged to the town sheriff--he showed me how to get back on the black-top.....

2 hours after me & ASMODEAN say goodbye.....I get to Natchez....it got 2 bridges--i'm pretty sure both of em is for leavin Louisiana in a hurry....

/

somehow i zigged when i shoulda...................guess i crossed the wrong bridge..........

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Political correctness claims another landmark......this Lady was a black lady in 1955 when my parents took me here to eat pancakes covered with cane syrup...she was the fore-runner of Ihop back in the day......good pancakes.......great cook/chef......

Awesome pics DG! It was awesome meeting you and the 36! Took a while for the lady friend to completely understand what we were doing with the banner. I had to show her the thread, then she understood.
