Day seventy one - Monday, Nov. 12

Today we began chasing the sun. We left Slidell on Hwy 12 and hit Hwy 10, which we'll stay on all the way to Phoenix, Arizona. We're westward bound and will be looking into the sun all afternoon. This evening we saw a great sunset. The land is so flat here it's like seeing the sun set over the ocean.

At one point we crossed over an eighteen mile long bridge over a large bayou and swamp. The rest of the trip was flat and boring. We passed through Baton Rouge and Lafayette before entering Texas. We had hoped to get to Houston this afternoon but came up short after getting a late start. We're staying the night in a rest stop just east of Beaumont, Tx.

Tomorrow we'll continue on Hwy 10 to San Antonio, Tx.
