2019 West Bound - Day 2

Whew! Getting into Houston was something! Apparently a barge got loose during the last tropical storm or hurricane and it knocked out some of the supports of the I-10 bridge into Houston. That caused all of the traffic in both directions to be diverted to one side of the bridge. It took something like 2 hours to go 60 miles. And I thought traffic in the bay area was bad...

The drive through Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana was uneventful.

It was great, as always, to spend the night at my in-laws house They are always so very welcoming. Last year we plugged into their dryer outlet so I could charge the car overnight. This year I (apparently) forgot to bring the plug adapter for their old-style (6-30) dryer outlet. Oh well, I charged on 120. There's a new supercharger on the way one exit down the road that I can top up tomorrow.

Here are the drive and charge details:
