<\/a><\/p>\nWe were on a state highway with a VERY wide shoulder that was a smooth as a new born baby\u2019s bottom. Nice!!!<\/p>\n
Ouch . . . this on must had been a bumpy ride . . . semi maybe???<\/p>\n This is something you don\u2019t want to see right after having breakfast . . . a two fer\u2019<\/p>\n First stop down the road was Anderson . . . might still be fighting the war!<\/p>\n A little listing to the right on this foundation . . . but still livable!!!<\/p>\n Funny . . .<\/p>\n Looked like a turkey vulture convention . . .<\/p>\n . . . ends up it was a breakfast meeting, over a new fawn car kill.<\/p>\n Hey . . . it\u2019s my town!!!<\/p>\n . . . complete with a dead man’s curve, two white crosses, one more lower in the ditch.<\/p>\n . . . and a thriving downtown area!!!!<\/p>\n We would ride through the tranquil Sam Houston National Forest today for about 40 miles. Nice, quiet riding . . .<\/p>\n Part of it is designated a Wildlife Management area . . .<\/p>\n where on the left side it looks like they are letting things grow as is . .<\/p>\n . . . and on the right side of the road they are prescribed burning to keep the vegetation knocked back.<\/p>\n mmmmmmmm . . . not sure what this was all about . . .<\/p>\n . . . or this one!!! Got to look it up!<\/p>\n More of the woody species are now starting to blossom . . .<\/p>\n . . . they smell nice, close up, too!<\/p>\n Walker County Line . . . we went from pavement as smooth as a baby\u2019s bottom, to one with diaper rash. Bumpy . . . just like the political atmosphere in Wisconsin with Gov. Walker too!!!<\/p>\n One of my people. Stopped by . . . but no one home!!!<\/p>\n Our first major detour of the whole trip (couldn\u2019t walk through this one) and we are half done!!!!\u00a0 Hope it is the only one.<\/p>\n Smoochie!!!!<\/p>\n Not sure what this shipping container was all about but it was fun to see as I came around a curve in the road.<\/p>\n Interesting juxtapositioning . . .<\/p>\n If you need help . . . here is where to go.<\/p>\n Gaylord . . . thanks for not telling us about your summer place . . . !!!!<\/p>\n Met Kate and Reinert, from Germany, who are heading west from FL, on this 3 mile crushed rock road detour. Had a hard time talking because of all the noise and traffic, but they are enjoying their ride and the US!!<\/p>\n Who knew Jim has a twin brother of the cloth . . .<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
