After driving and napping through the night, I arrived in Alexandria, Louisiana, my final driving destination. One day ahead of schedule, I dropped off my Prius at the Hertz rental car agency in town. The hybrid Prius, on average used a little over fifty miles to the gallon, saving me more than $100 in gasoline, and more importantly, substantially reduced carbon emissions. We have come a long way from the covered wagon to this fuel efficient mode of transportation. Thank you Hertz for accommodating me, and serving my needs, it has been a great and comfortable ride in more than one ways!
With five flat tires under my belt, it was time to switch to the armor-all Armadillo tires and I found one at Red River Cyclery! We talked tires and Blue Planet Run and back at the econo-motel I prepped my bike and gear for the next 2,000 miles of trekking. The Natchez Trace Parkway is still eighty miles away from Alexandria, a one way commute for tomorrow.
