A wake-up/weather-check was totally indecisive. This "system" remains elusively undefined. Well.....we ARE on a Road Trip, and, we are GOING TO NEW ORLEANS! The trip over was essentially uneventful....however, our progress on highway 90 was abruptly halted near Biloxi, Mississippi.....the bridge was GONE! Is this post-Katrina, or, progress.....we don't know. We did see telltale signs of unfinished Katrina cleanup. It is pitiful. We went over to Interstate 10 and made our way (somehow!) to the Navy Lodge in New Orleans. Lots of evidence of unaddressed destruction ....and, now it is 2+years after Katrina. Our value system seems to be in total dysfunction. So....we got there, BUT when Tom went to check in, the news was not good. Pre-storm evacuations had begun. IF the storm came, the base would be flooded...and, probably lose power. IF they lost power, the base would be closed (as in...NOBODY IN/ NOBODY OUT)...and, there is NO food service on this base. We talked it over and canceled our reservation then went off to eat the BEST muffaletta I have ever tasted! We made plans to get-the-hell out of "Dodge". Although it was very arbitrary, we decided on Meridian, Mississippi which was a couple of hundred miles away. It made a lot of "wheel" time, but we got there by suppertime. Very few photos today, a little rain, and just to tired to do a blog!
(Ooops! forgot to share the photo of Oakleigh in the last blog.
