Chapter 27

Poplarville and then broke southeast on hey 53 and joined hwy 40

Got up in Bogalusa this morning, just about 3 miles from the Mississippi border, and had a rare northerly wind blowing, so like any good sailor would do, we went with the wind. I rode east on hwy 26 as far as Poplarville and then broke southeast on hwy 53 and joined hwy 49 just north of Biloxi, MS.That's where we are sitting tonight in Biloxi about 1/2 mile north of the Gulf Coast.My wife tells me I change plans more often than the parents of a new born baby changes diapers.!  Mississippi isn't much for shoulders on their roads, so riding was a bit challenging from a traffic standpoint, but favorable wind balanced everything out quite nicely. Without going swimming we couldn't go any farther south, so east it is tomorrow. We will slip into Alabama just past Pecan MS. and ride into Alabama towards Bayou La Botre. From there to Dauphin Island and a short ferry ride east to Fort Morgan. If the winds ( and the legs) are good we may get to western Florida, but more likely we will stay in Alabama at Gulf Shores or Ornage Beach. It was nice to see the ocean again today. So far no signs of oil on them anywhere, however they are doing a lot of new sidewalk work along 90 where it meet sthe beach. I thin B.P. is paying for that one. Has some great jamblaya  today. All the windows n our little trailer will be open tonight. With all the southeast winds we have faced recently, I was hoping some of the nice weather would blow towards Kalispell, obviously that did not happen. If my math is good we are roughtly  640 miles from St Augustine. All our love and prayers to Boo and the rest of the children in need of, or receiveing care. May God bless ech and everyone of them
