A Side of Dry Tortugas: sounds like a good complement to alligator meat.
Meredith, leaving her daughter behind after a lovely visit, hits the highway accompanied by Willie Nelson. She thinks back to when her son joined the Navy, comparing the rag-tag young men enlisting to the "tidy convicts" she worked with while she was a correctional officer. Her heart aches. "Memories unravel with the landscape" as Meredith heads across the Rappahannock River. She thinks of John Wilkes Booth as she nears the place where he was found hiding and resisting arrest. She makes it through to Atlanta, accompanied by the gorgeous tunes of Bach. It's over the Pascagoula River to Ocean Springs Mississippi to a friend's house, then to the Davis Bayou Campground where she and Ranger Skip do a back and forth about Sedro-Wooley Washington, and the taste of alligator meat from Florida.
