On the way to Freeport, TX, there was a lot of road work going on. We happened to be stopped at a red light, when across the street I noticed a construction crew working. Now I just had to take a picture of these men at work. When I downloaded the picture and was reviewing it, I was amazed at the number of men that were actually working and those that were just standing around. And then there are the two, that I have yet to figure out what they are doing. They are the ones that are just about in the center of the picture. Now it is apparent as to why the road projects take longer than they should.
After loading in Freeport we headed to Paris, Texas. Going the back roads you get to see a lot of different things. In the county of Van Zant, TX they are trying to raise funds for a Veterans Memorial Park. There has been quite a bit of work already done on it, but apparently there is stall a ways to go, until completion.
As we came into Memphis, TN we were able to see the waters of the Mississippi River. A lot of the land was under water. The only crops that I think the water helped, was the rice crops. The rice is grown in water anyway.
In the morning we deliver our load and then on to the next adventure. See you on the other side.
