Short drive to a casino?

Congratulations on 1500 posts Larry.

I hadn't even noticed. My AP English teacher always told me I was too wordy. Guess growing up in the country without anyone to talk too led to delayed development and I'm making up for it.......

[QUOTE=Lucky Larry] Sweet C and I make our 2 hour trip more enjoyable by going a route that by passes most of I-10 and through lots of rice fields and a National Wildlife area. We pass the time counting "hawks" we can see from the road. Love the winter months when the Canadian geese come in and the migratory hawks numbers swell into the tens. Best trip was an amazing 61 hawks in a 40 mile stretch.

     And I thought I was the only one who counted hawks on the way to the casino. My best count was 22 in a 60 mile stretch.[/QUOTE]

olds,
Easier to see them with open rice fields. We can only imagine how beautiful the trip to MS is during the winter with snow. We loved the woods, winding roads and houses as we drove from Mystic last May.

Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

Marie,Great advice on the cold.It's 20 degrees here in Austin and I won't go out without a hat, scarf, corduroy pants, heavy sweater and winter jacket with gloves.  Tonight we'll get back down into the 20's and maybe the high teens.  I feel bad for all you folks up North.  I have relatives in upstate New York and in St. Louis.  Saw pictures of St. Louis last night.  It's really bad there with the wind blowing the snow.  I imagine it is the same in Minnesota and all the other states around the Great Lakes.Be careful out there and don't shovel that snow!  Too many heart attacks.  Stay indoors and play videopoker on this site.Have fun.
