Sunday September 06, 2020 – Day Three of Driving

Shortly before sunrise, De’Andra and I headed East again from Dallas on Interstate 20 under the cover of darkness and a wet fog. It looked liked it had rained the dew was so think. After a quick pitstop in Waskom, TX for a quick hello to De’Andra’s pops, we rolled through Louisiana and descended into the river valley and crossed the mighty Mississippi river into the state of Mississippi. Our planned gas stop was just a few miles into Mississippi at a town called Edwards.

Saturday September 05, 2020 – Day Two of Driving

Started the day heading East on US Highway 70 through the every hyper diligent U.S. Border Patrol Check point where he asked where I was from, where I was going, why is there so much stuff in my car, do I know the person in the car behind, and am I a US citizen. Good grief. Turns out they asked DeAndra the same questions to see if our stories matched. Awe, the life experiences near the southern border where the constitution doesn’t matter (but I digress)

White Sands National Park

It was a good Idea on Paper……..

Ok, so blogging on the road in real time proved to be too difficult with the hours packed into actually driving. Once stopped for the day, focus was then on getting food, washing up, and resting to gear up for the next day’s slog of driving. So, like my motorcycle trips, the remainder of the drive from Ramona, California to Douglasville, Georgia will be posted in Retrospect.

Friday September 04, 2020 – Continued

Eating glorious Subway with DeAndra 😀

I still need to continue writing about my USA West 2020 motorcycle trip, I have stalled on Day 4 (video for Day 4 is posted but not the blog post). I have a good excuse for not writing though, my wife and I successfully closed on our house in Georgia on August 14th. Since then it has been a flurry of activity flying between Southern California and Atlanta, packing, planning, etc etc. Tomorrow, September 4, 2020 we are driving two of our cars from Ramona, CA to Douglasville, GA. We are breaking the trip up into three days with only two brief detours.
