Tour du Rouge - Beaumont to Sulpher (2)

              93 miles    7:00 elapsed time   433 ft altitude gain    77-104 temperature range
so far   181            14:00                        653                

A mostly sunny, hot muggy day.  But the best part of the weather was the light winds.  We rode southeast along the gulf shore to Holly Beach today and since the wind is usually out of the southeast here (like today) it was good that it was a light breeze. 

So many sights today along the gulf.  Hurricane Ike hit hard here four years ago.  Everything was wiped out.  Peaple are rebuilding - on stilts.  Lots of pics today.
