Days 11, 12 and 13 - On The Road Home

Cotton Field
We started our 3-day driving home trip on Sunday, so this will be our last post as we don't have any other sightseeing planned. However on the way to Memphis to drop Steve and Megan off at the airport, we came across some cotton fields being picked and decided to take some photos.

In the first picture, the cotton field has already been sprayed to kill the green leaves, leaving just the brown stalk and cotton balls. Although not very visible, you can see the round yellow "modules" of wrapped cotton that the cotton picker leaves (center of photo).

The second picture is a close-up of the "cotton-picking" machine. Notice the white dust of cotton fiber in the air. There was also cotton fiber all along the roadside.
