9/5/09-9/6/09 - FL to Arkansas, 1073 miles

From South Florida, riding the back roads of Arkansas, an evening in Branson, MO, and then back again. Here's a few pictures and videos from our trip.

Saturday - 1st day - 09/05/09
Leaving from Coral Springs at 7am, I met Terry on the Turnpike in Ft. Pierce. From there, we rode all day, stopping at 4:30pm in Chipley, FL, only because of the rain storm we decided not to ride through (way too menacing).


Sunday - 2nd day - 09/06/09

We rode through Mobile, AL, during the morning hours, in the pouring rain. We pulled over in a truck stop to put on rain suits. The overcast skys to the west don't look all that threatening but looks can be deceiving. It was a bit disconcerting riding in the rain across the bridge before the tunnel in Mobile, AL. It was a challenge seeing through the rain covered windshield and fogged over helmet visor.

Later that day, traveling to I20 (from I10).
The video was taken while riding on RT49 from Gulfport, MS to Hattiesburg, MS.

This clip was taken on I20, driving west, just after entering Louisiana, from Mississippi. To my right was an intriguing farm, although a little tough to visualize because I couldn't hold the phone camera steady.
