2016 Louisiana Trip – Day 6 - What A Rig - You Gotta See This

Henderson, LA temps – 63/36, home temps – 28/13. 

It was pretty on Tuesday but we needed a down day so we did very little except take a few walks, but the big event was watching our neighbors load up to leave.  I’ll let the photos tell the story - he winches the car on and off.










I talked with him before they left and he advised they had just measured their total rig – 90 feet.

Since there was a seafood platter special at Crawfish Town, USA, we decided to give it a try for supper - Bev and I had it and Pat had the Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Pasta and we all enjoyed our meals.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  1. You guys are getting your fill of seafood that's for sure - I would have done exactly the same. As for the neighbor's rig, wow, that is a lot of work to do each time you leave and doesn't even compare to your pretty coach.

  2. Some people need to have all their toys, we like our coach and towed just fine.

  3. That is the craziest rig I've ever seen! These folks are definitely traveling in the lap of luxury. No way would I help out with the driving, though!

  4. I usually show your posts to my husband and would you believe that my husband has seen a video about this guy. :)

  5. Larry, That is some rig that guy's pulling! Given the fact that the maximum length of a semi-trailer is 53' and a typical sleeper cab is about 8' long, this rig has to be illegal in some states...except perhaps on the Interstates. Great looking fried seafood dinner! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  6. And I couldn't handle it when we were 72 feet long hauling the boat behind the fiver. 90 feet!!! That's not even legal in Montana where they really let you get away with a whole lot. What in the world is in the trailer?

  8. What a rig! I hope he stays on the interstate. Would hate to meet him on one of our curvy mountain roads. Your seafood looks delicious!

  9. OH MY GOSH-----that Big Rig is amazing.... I cannot --- in my wildest dreams---imagine ever driving all over the country in something like that... My one question: What are they carrying in the attachment on the back? That is usually where a car would go... Unbelievable!

    Glad you showed this one... Hard to believe without seeing the pictures.
    Hugs,

  12. I think that spicy shrimp pasta looks incredible and I think you should recreate the recipe and share it with all of us. And that rig, the car and the whole set up is really a good idea.

  13. Holy smokes, that's a rig! 90 feet, it reaches from home to first base.
