Day 70 of #BoxsterRoadTrip has us driving from Memphis, Tennessee to Bossier City, Louisiana.
After breakfast, one of the other guests at the Marriott Residence Inn in Memphis suggested I go up on the roof and take some photos. Wow, what a nice view (and another sunny day, of course).
The first part of the trip took us south along the Mississippi River. It was cold, but sunny, so the top was down. There are not too many more days we will be able to go topless, so we are taking advantage of the good days while we can.
In less than an hour, we were out off Tennessee and into Mississippi heading south. The road was lightly traveled and very straight (yawn). And, like so many southern states, there was cotton field after cotton field. And not a Starbuck’s in sight!
We continued on.
We crossed the Mississippi River into Arkansas (with Steve driving over this bridge) and continued southward.
We continued following the river for a little while longer (it was beautiful) before turning west and crossing into Louisiana. Here, the crops changed from cotton to grain and rice.
Our destination for tonight is Bossier City, Louisiana (a superb of Shreveport). Tomorrow . . .
The journey continues . . .
