I went to the doctor Friday and while he wants me on light duty for work. I asked about riding the motorcycle and he thought that would be okay. I may have failed to mention that today I was thinking of a 500 mile ride.
I left out this morning to help with the street painting that the club I walk with on St. Patrick's Day in New Orleans does in Algiers. They paint the street in front of Old Point Bar on the corner of Patterson and Oliver right by the levee of the Mississippi River. I left about an hour before sunrise. The weather man lied to me again, he said it would be 28 degree and warm up to the upper 50's down south. When I left the house it was 27. I checked again just south of Jackson and it was 25. A little bit later is was down to 23 and hit 21 just before sunrise. I stopped in Brookhaven for a hot chocolate and to warm up a little. By then the sun had come up good and started to warm up. I had never crossed the Mississippi River at Gramercy so I looped a little west and crossed there. From there it is a nice ride along the river to Hwy 90 and then keeping to the west bank to Algiers.
First photo; Lake Maurepas along I-55
Second; Blind River swamp along I-55 I actually worked out there for a week a long time ago. They took us to work in boats and we waded around all day cruising timber.
Third; Bridge at Gramercy
forth; Mississippi River
fifth; arriving in Algiers
