Notes

24616 patoot Ville
Patoutville Rd leads into downtown Patoutville where you will find Patout & Sons, the hub of this booming metropolis. Just make sure you’re holding your nose! Pee-yew! See picture gallery – photo care of Google.

24642 Saw some more of those red lights cones and pot and ponds I’m wondering if they are maybe crayfish Farms because crayfish seem to be a big thing down here who knows
Now that I am back in civilization and after a little research, I found that they are indeed crayfish farms. And there were a lot of them. See picture gallery – photo care of Google.

24643 we have gone 3,000 miles and I’ll bet some of the roads that I have been on have never seen a New Hampshire license plate before we are out in the boonies
I did occasionally run into other NH license plates – one at the Walcott, Iowa truck stop, another at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and one in the remote parking lot of the Diablo Canyon park in New Mexico.

24658 really cool yellow biplane crop dusting about 10 ft off the ground that was going parallel with me and then went up and did a big swooping turn and hit the next row really neat

24665 really cool huge blocks huge flocks of small cranes white cranes with black tip wings

24667 Creedence Clearwater Green River Barry appropriate for this area

24695 of course there is no more appropriate song by Creedence Clearwater Revival then Born on the Bayou

24707 Rockefeller wildlife refuge on the left hand side is nothing but flat flat flat I think my car rooftop is the highest thing for a long way

24726 two things – even the high school is on stilts, second thing that fire tower is maybe 20 ft High
This section I was cruising through was so unbelievably flat with nothing to break the horizon, but again, there must have been some water source that would cause the high school to be constructed on stilts. And the fact that the fire “tower” was only 20 feet tall gives you a sense of how flat the surrounding area was for quite a distance.

24737 that’s the town I guess of Cameron
Total devastation time after time after time due to storm surges and hurricanes. Hurricanes in 1957, 2005, 2008, 2020 (2X 6 weeks apart) Read all about it HERE.

24774 welcome to Texas and the land of the refinery golden pass LNG
Massive construction job going on. Gallery image c/o Google

24795 the most I have paid for gas and here we are less than 5 mi from major refineries the most I paid for gas the entire route
I realize that proximity to a resource doesn’t necessarily guarantee favorable prices, but, c’mon, People! The gas is literally right over there.
