HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 43 - Vancleave to Dauphin Island (67.5 miles)

Beautiful riding day in Mississippi and into Alabama. I’ve been very impressed with the riding and scenery we’ve experienced in the last several days. Great food stops today and the Dauphin Island region is a special place.

Typical road today.

Dee’s Pecan Company, mile 31. Great pecan pie and butter pecan coffee….6 miles before lunch.

International Harvester signs at Dee’s Pecan Company

Fisherman pulling his boat out at 8 am. Asked if he caught any fish, but his accent was so thick, I couldn’t understand his response.

Tom, Lisa, and me on the road.

Some views of the beach near the hotel. Note the oil rigs.

Day 42 - Poplarville to Vancleave (74.6 miles)
