MJR Roadtrip: M’ssippi Delta

while matt’s going through security, i’m writing this from the floor of the dallas-fort worth airport, where we’re waiting for our ride down to Mexico City and onward to Oaxaca where we’ll be meeting up with mr. flanigan for some trouble and maybe a few pictures.

by the way: congrats to dina for the tribute win. loved the frame.

the last few days has seen us driving through long stretches of narrow roads in backwoods Alabama, across the Mississippi river, and on through the sweltering heat of Louisiana until we the flatland of eastern Texas. we swam in the Little Tennessee river, sampled catfish off the highway at Sue’s, and now we’re finally onto the second act of this show: mexico.

feels great to be on our way.

hope you enjoy,

MJR Roadtrip: Smokey Mtns.

so we’ve arrived late at the base of the Smokey Mountains, trading the at&t-reception-less backwoods for the rainy Rt. 40. when you leave the city limits and drive through valleys of forest under a craggy sky, you can breathe in the air and understand the purity of these places.

seeing as music’s as a big of a part of the american roadtrip as anything, we here in the mazda 6 would like to extend to you five tracks from our playlists. put them in any order, enjoy in a car or in your Nikes. crank the volume past the healthy mark.

and here’s the soundtrack from the road.
