This is the brief account of a 5,000 mile journey I took with my wife and canine. We toured deserts and forest. We got back in touch with old friends and hung out with distant family. It was a blast, though at the moment we're thrilled to be home.
At our gas stops I am known to measure big trees such as this giant live oak in Louisiana. This one was around 23' CBH!
two more in front of the parish's welcome center- very appropriate
