I have other outdoor activities before May, but this is
the trip that I consider to be the one that starts the year off. On every
trip home to see Mom I tried to take a new route so I can find new
experiences. This trip was not what I expected. The weather factor made this trip shorter, and it added a nice touch as well. I started off a day later than I wanted. But it was a normal start for me. I left Little Rock about 2:30 PM May 1st. A quick calculation I realized I was going to end up in Memphis TN at rush hour. But that did not happen three years ago Arkansas went into a major highway construction a five year plan on every interstate highway in the state. The normal time it takes me to leave Little Rock and be in Memphis is to half hours, it took four hours to leave Arkansas. On this trip by drove to Memphis and turn south into Mississippi about the distance from Memphis to Little Rock. Close to sundown pretty girl and I stop for a break in Mississippi. Where I found this burgundy colored sickle. From there across Alabama into Georgia. Which was the goal for the night. The last gasoline stop was in West Memphis Arkansas. And bypassing Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama I had made into Georgia were gasoline is cheaper than even Arkansas. There is one more thing I needed to do for the night I needed to get to the other side of Atlanta Georgia. Where I could lay my head down the get some sleep for the next day. It was the right time of year to see sickles. These two are from Mississippi and North Carolina. Now we can pick up this story in pictures. The links on the left are for different parts of this trip. The links on the right are of the Sickles. All pictures are in the order of which they were taken. Just click on the picture to see a larger size. Then picture backspace rear back arrow.
