I woke up early, but don’t like to leave during the morning commute time. Ended up packing up and rolling out at 10:00 am. I was told that I was real close to the sketchy part of New Orleans, and while driving out of town I could see that I was….. I took Route 90 along the coastline toward Mississippi. Mississippi landscape started out white sandy beaches, very pretty! I followed the coastline up to Biloxi. The dealership in Biloxi was closed for two days to do inventory. So do I hang out in town until they open??? NOPE! I decided since I was in Galveston for so long that I didn’t want to just hang around, so I headed towards Meridian, Mississippi. That’s the next closest dealership, Mississippi only has four dealership in the whole state. I’m trying to get at least one poker chip for every state I drive through! I stopped for the night in Hattiesburg, about half way there. Once I got away from the coastline the scenery changed to mostly woods. I have noticed that most of the roads are built up 3 to 6 feet, which I’m sure is for flooding. They also don’t have any guardrails – so pay attention and don’t go off the road because nothing is going to stop you! Some areas had quite the drop…. I also noticed these large piles all along the side of the roads, when I stopped I saw that they are ant mounds. Large mounds, and was told the ants are large too. I didn’t see any!
The roads are in good condition and have been winding and turning. Route 15 was a great ride, and I was pretty much out here by myself. The sun in my face, music on, feet up and cruising. This is what it’s all about, getting lost on the journey.
Love and Light to you all!
