We drove our coach 146 miles, about 2 hours of driving, from New Orleans, Louisiana to Spanish Fort, Alabama.

Here’s a map showing our route, heading northeast:

We stopped at a Flying J truck stop for lunch:

The truck parking was rather full. With our toad attached we can’t back up, and this parking area has back-to-back spots, so we could only park where there was two adjacent ones empty so we could pull through. It was a difficult turn and tight squeeze, but Jenn’s driving skills got it done:

This Flying J has a Denny’s restaurant, so we had lunch there:

I tried a rather decadent “choconana pancake slam”, just to be different:

Jenn’s was a bit more conventional:

Back to our coach:

“I love the way you look at me” Buc-ee’s billboard… a little creepy, perhaps:

I had fun spotting our coach passing by on traffic cameras:

An amusing info sign: “Cats have 9 lives. You are not a cat. Buckle up”:

“Welcome to Sweet Home Alabama”:

I think these are electrical transformers:
