And, it is a wrap! Today was the last part of my trip. 3,854 miles total over 16 days of travel. I started my day in Mobile and made my way home. I did have to stop and do two Strikecheck inspections. One in Blounstown, FL and one in Ocala, FL. So, what are my…
Day 15 – Arlington, TX to Daphne, LA
Today was a travel day. Got up and left Arlington, TX about 6am this morning. I wanted to avoid heavy traffic and I did. I chose to take the more Northern routing of I-20 and then cut down on some state roads to Mobile, AL and just have the last 20 miles on I-10. It…
Day 14 – Last day in Arlington
Not going to post too much about today, no travels, and just a few pictures. Started off the day with an 8.5 mile run in Fishcreek Park, really great linear trail and it was a nice cool run. Awesome way to start my day. Then spent the rest of the day with family. Had some…
Day 13 – Arlington and Dallas (briefly)
(This is actually for Saturday, November 6, 2021) Started the day with close to a six mile run. A little on the chilly side, but it was nice. Had a nice visit with family today, as I have mentioned before, it’s been 20 years since I have seen Jesse’s family. It’s also been 20 years…
Day 12 – Arlington, TX
Well, before I went back to Florida I needed to take a very long overdue trip out to Arlington, TX and visit my in-laws and the whole Texas family. It has been over 20 years since I have last seen them, as Jesse and I do not travel together I have missed seeing my nephews,…
Day 11 – Lacombe, Slidell, and New Orleans
Started the day early, like real early because I wanted to stop before I crossed the causeway over Lake Pontchartrain and get some sunrise pictures. Mission accomplished, but it was windy and cold. At least I was able to get approval from ATC for 400′ as they were bringing flights in from the other direction…
Day 10 – Dulac, Mentegut, Lacrose, Lockport, Raceland, and Kenner
Started off the day WAY South of the hotel, any further South and I would be getting wet. Once again saw massive destruction from Hurricane Ida. It just amazes me that on one street some houses have been torn apart and some houses are relatively OK, even if they look like the same construction and…
Day 9 – Across the Lake
Today started with an hour and a half drive North. Back across the 25 mile long causeway, across the Lake an North of Covington, LA. I was running way early when I got across the lake so I decided to stop at Home Cheapo and take a look at a few tools. I then decided…
Day 8 – New Orleans, Kenner, and a few other stops.
Today was a commercial claims type of day. Not much really new and exciting for this Monday sorry, it was just one of those boring days. One picture to share. Did the hurricane do this? And, on that note I am done for the day and will see you all tomorrow. Because tomorrow we work…
Day 7 – Bridges of New Orleans, Abita friends and some points in between.
Today was a day off from work, so I went out and did a few things that I do not have time to do during the week or the conditions have not been good. One of the things around New Orleans that I am in awe of are the bridges. There are a few bridges…
