Brad’s Notes – day something

Morale with our group is good….I think our days are running together at times, but we’re really proud of the stories we’ve covered in the past few weeks.

We’ve made the trip back and forth from Mississippi to Louisiana a few times now – and we’re pretty familiar with which roads are open and which areas to avoid. We’ve also become a lean-mean storytelling machine – everyone knows their roles and we’re self-sufficient.

We went back to Gulfport today – and the damage is just amazing. We went to a different part of Gulfport – further down Hwy 90 along the beach. The line of damage that Katrina left basically stretches from New Orleans all the way to the Mississippi/Alabama border (east to west) – and about 50-80 miles inland (north to south). Unfortunately, Katrina may now become the standard for hurricanes when it comes to damage.


We hope to be back at some point this week. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to put out of my mind the damage we’ve seen. Along with that – I won’t forget the resilience of the people here and the kindness they’ve shown us.

On a humorous note – before this blog is over I’ll share one story about the intricacies of an RV.

Hope all is well in the Carolinas. Some random shots are below.....Ed and Brian checking out the damage in Gulfport.
