Roadtrip 2

07 October Continued - New Orleans - Alabama

Lake Punchin' Train

Mississippi...not quite like coming home.

More like driving into crazy town.

We got lost in Hattiesburg...which is basically a ghost town with a McDonalds and 10 cops in it.

Mississippi is creepy.

We did have (seriously) "The After-Church Home Country Buffet"

I don't know why we didn't take a picture of that...

I don't really have anything nice to say about Alabama either...

We stopped and asked for directions from a group of locals.

I must have approached them wrong, because they acted like I wasn't there for a few minutes. In fact they didn't say anything until we finally said "uh...Thanks...bye..." All of the sudden they were super friendly and showed us the way. After seriously pretending we weren't there at all for a LONG time....

Just so you know....Susie May is doin' just fine, but Sally Sue had a cold last week.

08 October 2007 - Fort Payne, AL - Williamston, NC

We drove a super long way today... and we spent a good while behind an SUV filled with green peppers...and one red pepper.
We stopped for a great lunch in Asheville, NC today. This is a really cute town. Two thumbs up for Asheville.

Well...here we are at the Ross Motel in Williamston, NC.

Local Entertainment = Pitt's County's Most Wanted on public access.

$2500 Reward for Lee Boyd...I wonder what Habitul Domestic is anyway...

09 October 2007 - Williamston, NC - Assateague Island, MD

North Carolina cotton fields

More cotton
Crossing the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel - Bridge
Coast to Coast!
We stopped for crab cakes on the Virginia Shore
There are lots of old abandoned houses along Chesapeake Bay
Chincoteague Island, VA

10 October 2007 - Assateague Island, MD - Lyme, CT

What a night! We camped on the beach at Assateague hoping to see some wild ponies. We did see some in the distance, but about 30 minutes after we went to be we saw the first flash of lightning, the heavens opened and we got soaked! The storm lasted almost until sunrise. I think we got about an hour of sleep before we finally decided to just pack up and get a move on.
Somewhere, behind all those clouds, is New York City.

Welcome to Connecticut...

where the sun never shines...

Wild Turkeys!
