Back on Texas soil again! Even though we had some light rain this morning and continued terrible roads - was able to log 102 miles today to make it across the Texas state line (1st photo). It's country up here and couldn't find a motel for miles. Ended up finding one in San Augustine, Tx - not much else in this town though. After a quick burger - went to Dairy Queen to celebrate mom's birthday. Second photo is a sample of some of the truck traffic we face on the roads. You get a feel/smell for the products each state is turning out by what the trucks are carrying or the fields you pass - for N. Carolina is was tobacco, S. Carolina was chickens and lots of pigs (worst smell I have eve experienced - and it doesn't go away quickly), Georgia/Alabama/Miss./Louisianna were lumber - lots of it and some cotton. No cell phone coverage again.

Looks like things are going well and you are making good time.
Tomorrow may be a real challenge. There is a storm that is headed your way and you may get a LOT of rain and high winds so keep listening to weather reports and try to stay out of harms way.
The storm is now almost 100 miles across and is slow moving with a lot of rain associated so be careful and watchful until this thing blows over.

I will second mom and dad's notion to take extra caution in the rain. We want you guys home, but preferably in one piece!
Well... as it turns out Kyle and Susan won't be staying with us after all, but Chad and Chewy will be! Can you stop at the pet store on the way home for more dog food?
Be careful you, two!
Love ya both.

Be careful with that Hurricane around you. It doesn't look good but you don't have that much farther to go. Hang in there.....
Hurricane coming, best ride like the devil. Speaking of hurricanes remember that 300 lb stripper in college named "Hurricane Jenny", pretend you owe her $100 and she is chasing you across Texas. That should help get you home faster. Home stretch my friend.

I just checked the path and clearly that hurricane does not like Texas, made a hard right at the coast and heading towards Mississippi.........
