Born on a Bayou

This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest
To the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
(This Land is Your Land, Woody Guthrie)

A strange and surreal night in Biloxi, Mississippi began with fried "shimp" salad on the menu

We camped at the Southern Comfort RV park on the edge of a bayou where we were the only tent on the premises. A roaring locomotive steaming down the tracks right outside our tent would jolt us from sound slumber every few hours.

Dunking our feet in the Gulf of Mexico in the morning

Wishin' I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
(Born on a Bayou, Creedence Clearwater Revival)
