They got it wrong (April 29, 2015)

My mental state yesterday morning was as gloomy as the weather predictions .... and the cloud cover.  Thankfully, Mother Nature does not take orders from those doing the predicting.

What started out as a gloomy attitude, and me clad in rain gear, ended with a joyful ride through some very attractive neighborhoods in Gulfport, Mississippi ... in shorts and t-shirt.  Having traveled through the swamps (adjacent picture) of Louisiana, I entered Mississippi and got my first view of the Gulf of Mexico.  In as much as the gray-toned overcast was still prevalent, the color of the water was equally as gray.  Other than the satisfied feeling of reaching the Gulf Coast, the emotion of seeing the Gulf was a bit of a letdown ... kind of looks like the Great Lakes since there were no waves crashing the beach.

The next week or so I will be riding along the Gulf Coast, then about another week across Florida to the Atlantic.  Ten day weather forecasts show sunny skies along the coast.

Hope the weather folks got it right this time.
