To make Juan Williams more comfortable, I encourage Muslims to wear headscarves, k’fiyas, and burqas emblazoned with Old Glory.

Done for the day in Bonifay. I really didn’t mean to ride this far, but my legs wouldn’t stop pedaling.
The Flora-Bama
This place’s schtick is that it straddles the state line. At midnight, all the customers get herded over to the Florida half, because of the different liquor licenses.

Go-Go road
A lot of the minor side roads in this part of the country have quirky names, often named after a local person—I remember "Clara & Clara Rd" for example. It would have been impractical to document even a fraction of them, but I had to grab this one.
Mississippi Longhorns
Not just from Texas, apparently.

Done for the day in Bayou La Batre AL. 118 mi, 2nd longest day, day after longest day. Still feel pretty good. All days <90 for rest of tour
View of the day
Sadly, this wasn’t representative of the whole day’s riding, but this tree-shaded road was an iconic view

Done for the day in Poplarville MS. About 130 miles today—longest yet. Tired but in surprisingly good shape.

In the land of the above-ground graves
Somehow I thought these were only in New Orleans. Guess not.

Done for the day in Simmesport, on the banks of the Atchafalaya. Wish there were a better place to stop, but there ain’t.
