Had a great time. First stop was Austin Texas to take care of some business for 2 days, then to Galveston Texas for the day. From there we went to NewOrleans for 3 days and threw down had some great eats and took my girlfriend(never been to anyplace like Louisiana,she is born and raised in Arizona)on a airboat tour which was amazing. Then finally made it to my home town of LakeCharles and did alittle Red Fishing and july 4th parties..Was great to be home for a while. I sure do miss the south.
This is going to be my new toy real soon, kinda a new business venture i am working on. She is ready for a road trip back to Arizona.

My friend took me too a little Willie Nelson charity event. Willie did about 8 songs. was good to see him still at it. we were 5' from stage and only about 40 people around us. quite nice.

Great photos man! Looks like you guys had a great trip. Love seeing all those pits too.

and good luck on the new business venture!
Nice pictorial, my brother said the same thing about the Saltlick. Great scenery but the food was ehhhh!

Looks like a great trip - I think I've been that lamppost.
I'll be passing through Phoenix on September 5th (on the way to a party in Prescott) and will probably have lunch at Dos Molinos (downtown) if you're available to join me.
Great pic's, thanks for sharing------ yes I have some good memories from there.
Nice!
Now I gotta wait for one of my Dad's old Farmall tractors to die... ;D
Looks like you guys had a great time.
What was you trying to do to that poor gator?? He shore nuff had a surprised look on his face!! :o :o ;D
YEP thats my ugly mug wearing the hat.. That was right before chad dropped that 5footer on my feet then he took off under the seat. didn't know i could still jump that high. I was just trying to hold on to the little fella and not get bit.
KaHonu... That would be great, lets do lunch....
Prescott will be really nice in september... I do alot of my crawfish trapping there..
And the Scenery at Saltlick was off the chain kinda made the food taste better..just sayin
