Day 2 '06

Made the effort to ride to the coast again today. The problem today was that you can't get there from here if you flat twice. After I got my air situation under control I headed for the local bike shop for some support supplies. Ya, I never found it. Not sure if they are amoung the survivors or not.

Once I got to Long Beach I headed down to HWY 90. You may have seen glimses of HWY 90 in Long Beach on the tv. There once was beautiful plantation homes hear on the beach from. I counted 4 FEMA trailers in a 5 mile stretch. Gulfport isn't any better. I appears the at impact Long Beach got hit a little harder, but Gulfport was affected further in from the coast. At any rate it is total destruction.

This family is for real. They were evidently watching me closely from down the outer road as I took his picture. I was not shot.
