(1) Day 21 [17MAR16/THU] Pensacola FL to Austin TX... photos by Sharon w/Cannon...
*** CHANGE IN PLANS: had orriginally planned to take I10 across to Houston then jet up to Austin;
however, with all the rains of late, everything from Gulf Port, Mississippi to the Sabine River at
the Texas/Louisiana border (INCLUDING NAW-LENZ!) out into the Gulf of Mexico!!! So, needless to say,
I10 is closed at the TX/LA border, soooooo, will have to detour up north around all the flooded area
through Shreveport LA and then down to Chappell Hill...
*** CHANGE IN PLANS: turns out Pam and Tom are already at the farm house, and, Ron and Lynne live
near by, and Maryann and RL3 said they could make it to the farm for dinner (Chappell Hill is an
hour and a half from Houston whereas Austin is 3 hours), so, need to be there by 6pm for dinner,
and the new route is a 12 hour drive, so if we are rolling by 7am then with the time zone change
we should arrive in 12 hours by 6pm; anyway, that was the new plan.
