Heretofore we have basically resumed normal life post-Covid. Masks and optional and rare and donned under specific circumstances. The cancer clinic comes to mind. We used to hang-out in an occasional bar yet have eschewed the experience. That's not an altogether bad thing and I suppose eventually I (we'll) resume enjoying a fish fry at the local watering hole before too long.
This series of blog posts are a taste of our effort to break-out of the post Covid world and begin to normalize our traveling experience. We decided to do so with a traditional road trip to the deep south and hook-up with the kids and grandson in northern Alabama.
2500+ miles later it feels cooler yet terrific to be back home.
Jefferson
Barracks Bridge, officially the Jefferson Barracks Memorial Arch
Bridge, is a pair of bridges across the Mississippi River on the south
side of St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. Each bridge is 3,998 feet
long with a 909-foot long arch bridge spanning the shipping channel.
Folks, that white stuff you see on the side of the road is hail!
And
the further we traveled the direction of our destination on day two of
our trip the worse the weather grew and the deeper was that stuff on the
side of the road.
Fortunately,
the tornadoes and hail preceded us. Nevertheless, Ma Nature slapped any
worthy road warriors with 2-6 inches of rain on the road to Memphis.
It’s been a spell since I drove a white-knuckler.
Stay-tuned for more roadside curiosities and other fun stuff…..
