Trail of Tears
Day 111 of my daily photo log, Project 365. I think I was in Illinois when I took this picture of Tanya and I, but to be honest, I was in so many states today, it is purely a guess.
Photos From Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas
Road Trip Day 9 Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas I have to admit, I am beginning to forget what day this is or what time zone. We started today off by driving to Camp Shelby, in Hattiesburg to deliver some lip balm to the troops stationed there awaiting deployment to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, we did not have enough for everyone, but a few hundred tubes will help a few hundred people. After leaving Hattiesburg we decided to visit some friends in Arkansas. We has a great dinner there. Southern hospitality rocks. [adrotate group=”1″]
George Payne Cossar State Park
Day 110 of Project 365 finds me with my girlfriend in Mississippi. Kind of an unexpected location, but it was fun. This photo is Tanya and me at Cosser State Park.
Photos From Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana
Road Trip Day 8 [adrotate group=”6″] Sights From Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana Yesterday, I commented that the plains of Texas and Oklahoma were, in a word, plain. Today was the opposite. We took I-35 south to I-20 east and it was quite scenic. It is easy to see why they call Louisiana the Sportsman’s Paradise. Tomorrow we pay a visit to Camp Shelby in Mississippi to deliver about 200 tubes of lip balm to troops headed to Afghanistan. Then, more sightseeing. [adrotate group=”1″]
Tyler State Park – Day 109 of Project 365
While yesterday’s view of Oklahoma and Texas were rather plain, today was quite different. Much more lush. I have never been to these portions of Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana before. Today’s daily photo is of my girlfriend and me at Tyler State Park, in Texas.
Photos From Interstate 40
Road Trip Day Seven Photos [adrotate group=”6″] The Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma Day seven of our road trip was spent driving across the Texas panhandle and into Oklahoma. Lots of flat land, which is a radical difference from what we have been experiencing for the last week. We did stop in Groom, TX to get photos of what is billed as the largest cross in the western hemisphere. I did not have a tape measure with me, but I would not argue with them. It was pretty tall.

Texas to Oklahoma
I have to admit, after spending the last few days in such beautiful states as Utah and New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma seem a little plain. Of course, that could be because we are driving across the plains. It will be better tomorrow. Day 108 of my daily photo log, Project 365.
Photos From New Mexico
Road Trip Day 6 [adrotate group=”6″] New Mexico Scenery Today is day six of our road trip. As we were headed east on I-40 we saw a sign informing us of a volcano and ice caves just 25 miles away. With all the news about volcanoes recently, a detour was in order. We ended up at Bandera Volcano and ice cave. It was pretty cool, no pun intended, and gave up a nice bit of exercise walking up and down the trails to see them. [adrotate group=”1″]
Volcano on Day 107
Day 107 of Project 365 finds Tanya and I in the land of fire and ice. Today’s daily photo shows us as we stand atop Bandera Volcano in New Mexico.
Road Trip Day Five Photos
Road Trip Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Mesa Verde National Park Today’s photos are of Mesa Verde National Park. It is known for having some of the best preserved cliff dwellings that the Pueblo people used for 700 years. That is some endurable construction! It was cool seeing things that I have only seen pictures of. We needed to put some miles on, and we spent longer than anticipated at Mesa Verde, so we headed to Gallup, NM to hole up for the night. Just an FYI, starting Saturday, April 17, all National Parks will have free admission for a week. I …
