I added pictures, google earth, and corrections to day 19. Check it out.

Enjoy.

I updated and added photos for days 16, 17 and 18 on the MRT journal. I also added the google earth links as well.

Pest Alert! Check it out!

Have you ever wanted to make your recumbent tadpole trike seaworthy? David Buchwaldek has the solution along with an electric assist. He calls it the HEPAV (Human-Electric Powered Amphibious Vehicle).

I recently started reading the new recumbent news site Recumbent Journal. I have to say, it is very impressive. The writing is excellent, content is being frequently updated, and the reviews are awesome. Check it out. I look forward to new reviews.

I added it to our links pages.

I updated and added a few more photos for days 10-13 on the MRT journal. I also corrected some errors, fixed some city names, added a bit of detail, and added the google earth files.

I added photos and details to days 8 and 9. I will try and update the missing days eventually. There are more than I remembered.

This page is under development......

I updated day 6 and 7 of the MRT trip. Pictures and GPS files are now included.

I want to thank everyone who supported and followed along with us on our trip. It was great hearing from you.

I also want to thank all of the great people we met along the trip.

Several people have asked me to post a final post which has some final statistics and summarized our highest and lowest points in the trip. I will do that soon.

I am also adding pictures to the days that we were missing, and adding the google earth links.

Also, Chuck is working on making a google earth file of the entire trip.

Thanks!

We Made It!!!!

Pictures to be added later.

We left the hotel after the best hotel breakfast yet! Everything was fresh and great! Thanks Best Western. Our rooms were already booked in New Orleans, though they were a bit difficult to find. Apparently there are 38k Lutheran youth in town for a community volunteer cleanup.

For the first dozen miles or so, we rode along the river in medium traffic. There were a lot of chemical factories and shipping businesses, but we left late so we could miss the morning rush........thus we were biking at lunch time. Whoops.

A road called Spillway Road was nice and quiet. The road was the smoothest surface we have seen in Louisiana, so the state had a construction crew on it to add pot holes.
