It has been a few weeks since I had taken the Ghost on any ride. While most of my gear keeps me nice and warm even in the high 30's, the weak point remained my feet. They would become cold despite wearing wool skiing socks. However, I found that the Bates uniform boot company also has a set of boots in waterproof form. So I got some at Academy, and naturally I had to try them out. The last long ride I did was my trip to Fayetteville, so another one was overdue. Since it had been almost 5 months since hurricane Ike came to the upper Texas coast, I became curious as to what progress had been made on the coast. Thus the loop around Galveston Bay was born.
The route:
Breakfast
Mileage log set
Ready to ride
The Best! Open road, all to yourself FM 321 north of Dayton
Cool church message in Liberty
Trees down in Anahuac
The real Tonka truck
Oak Island. This area in on the eastern shore of Galveston Bay, and suffered a lot of devastation. First, from the wind and then the storm surge. And this was "only" a Category 2 hurricane
East of Oak Island.
There are a lot of work crews there though, cleaning up debris. But still a lot left to do.
