Gray skies, rain, and lots of road construction were our companions today on our 167 mile drive from Egan, LA to Baytown, TX.
On the way we passed 2 big cities with big oil refineries:
Lake Charles, LA,
and Baytown, TX.
We crossed a lot of bridges over swamps and rivers, including this high one
with a railroad track at water level running alongside,
and the Sabine, the border between La. and Tx.
In addition to big cities and big refineries, we added a third "big"--a big blowout.
Fortunately, damage was limited to the tire and the corner of the slide (bent upward).
Good Sam's Roadside Service promised service in 3 hours. We didn't wait. Duane used his handy dandy new heavy duty impact wrench and had the tire replaced in 10 minutes. 15 minutes later we were parked in the Flying J rv parking for the night and enjoying mid-afternoon lunch/supper at Denney's.
One more day to travel.
Louise and Duane
