It was shocking to see all of the oil refineries in this area. When we left Dickinson, near Houston, we took a two lane road over by the gulf. This took us by many oil refineries, in fact watching tankers driving out of their places. This is probably some of the areas they try to tell us was hit by hurricane and caused our gas/fuel prices to go up.

I missed the Welcome to Louisiana sign -- So here is the Welcome Center Sign.

This was funny. We had seen so many oil refineries and here is another. Oops, no it wasn't. After taking the picture I seen a sign --- Goodyear. But I got the picture. LOL

This picture and the next are taken along route 10. Now is it a swamp or a bayou? There was a long long stretch of this, we were on a bridge for a long time. We wish we had known it was long and we would have checked the mileage.

I have this thing for bridges. So the camera comes out when it looks interesting. So here is a unique bridge. Next picture will show you what this bridge spans. LOL

With all the waterways, swamps, bayou we weren't looking for this river --- Mississippi River. We just hadn't thought about it. Now we have seen the Mississippi River in New orleans, here near Baton Rouge, St. Louis, MO, and either or both Minnesota and Wisconsin.
