So we have a bit of driving to do soon and I will be making new road trip bingo cards. Add suggestions.... Remembering we will be driving in the deep south.

So far:
El chupacabra (free space)
Double wide with pool
Appliances on porch
Tractor being driven on main road
Roadkill
Creepy church
Bigfoot (or skunk ape)
Art car
Yard with 5+ rusted out cars
Toilet with flowers
Roadside produce sales from pickup bed

Additional suggestions?

And yes, there is at least one Burma Shave set of signs out there (you have to find them).

Fence posts that have sprouted/grown. (OK, I have a fence line that became a tree line myself.

Houston you say?
How bout shrimp boats in the front yard?
Dead armadillos. They must already be dead.
Neutralization by you does provide some instant gratification,
But is not valid in this game.

count of type of police vehicle. State, County, Town

If they're car savvy, then different brands/models of police/emergency vehicles. Crown Vics, Chargers, Tahoes, Suburbans (gotta be sharp eyed to spot the longer wheelbase), Mustangs, Impalas, Tauruses (Taurii?), Explorers, pickup trucks, you name it. Oh, and motorcycles. Bonus points for identifying motorcycle brands. I've seen all of the above in just Western Washington. I'd imagine there's a similar variety going through seven states.

I'm assuming you'll be on interstates from Texas to South Carolina before turning off on state roads to get to Parris Island, right?

So I'm going to limit my suggestions to what you might see between the four-lane and the Island:

Bar-B-Que joint.

Decorative license tag of South Carolina state flag, but in orange and white instead of dark blue and white, Clemson being Clemson.

Roadside stand selling straw hats and other local crafts.

Mailbox post made of welded proof-coil chain links.

Yard statue appearing to be little old lady bending over to tend flowers, and showing her own bloomers.

Real little old lady bending over to tend flowers, and showing her own bloomers (or nightgown).

Multiple satellite dishes for same home.

Stacked stove-length cordwood in yard.

Piggly-Wiggly Store.

Single-wide mobile home on stacked concrete block pillars.

Confederate flag.

Confederate flag with Don't Tread on Me flag on same pole.

Speed limit sign "Speed Limit 55 Trucks 45".

Creek bridge with sign folded to show "Bridge Ices Before Road" since it's July in the Deep South.

Handpainted "Collards" sign.

Red brick church with graveyard next to it, and picnic table in yard.

vigil617 is right on about the mailbox post. Count any one made from something besides wood, pipe, plastic or bricks. Used to, you would see them made from an old plow, I think they would get stolen now.

Giant pig on a barbecue joint sign.

Giant burger used as a hamburger joint sign.

If in small towns at any point cannon or tank in front of the VFW hall.

Waterfalls

Speaking of armadillo's.

Why did the chicken cross the road?















To prove to the armadillo it could be done.

Well since your trip is going to include Louisiana the following would apply
tractors on highways,dead armadillos feel like you ran over a rock when dead and they always have their feet in the air, snakes and turtles crossing the road and sometimes they don't always make it. Road kill of various discriptions, newspaper deliveries driving on the wrong side of the road, roadside stands selling veggies and shrimp and crawfish. And that's for starters. Congratulations on your daughter for graduating marine boot camp. Frank

Sign at the side of the road that says the next gas is over 100 miles away.

Someone texting and driving like a drunk driver, running of the road, crossing center line, etc..... On second thought that might be too easy.

Triple wides made by shoving 3 single mobile homes together and covering with one tin roof.

Yards with more that 3 gazing globes (not fair to detour by my house)

Pickups made out of passenger cars.

School busses hauling livestock

Hippie vans (murals or heart shaped side windows qualify)


Senior citizen driving anything made within 3 years of his birth

Boat/trailer being used to move household items (redneck moving van) bonus points for mattress tied to roof, double points if passengers are holding it on

motorcycle rider that outweighs the cycle

motorcycle with more than 2 riders

motorcycle with animal aboard, bonus if animal is riding solo

Studebaker car or truck of any year

Bricklin (the back to the future car)

Me

Jim in Iowa

Just switch to the punch dub game. Pick a victim and pull into a VW dealership.

From Charles Portis' The Dog of The South. One of the funniest books ever written.

“In South Texas I saw three interesting things. The first was a tiny girl, maybe ten years old, driving a 1965 Cadillac. She wasn’t going very fast, because I passed her, but still she was cruising right along, with her head tilted back and her mouth open and her little hands gripping the wheel.

Then I saw an old man walking up the median strip pulling a wooden cross behind him. It was mounted on something like a golf cart with two spoked wheels. I slowed down to read the hand-lettered sign on his chest:

JACKSONVILLE
FLA OR BUST

I had never been to Jacksonville but I knew it was the home of the Gator Bowl and I had heard it was a boom town, taking in an entire county or some such thing. It seemed an odd destination for a religious pilgrim. Penance maybe for some terrible sin, or some bargain he had worked out with God, or maybe just a crazed hiker. I waved and called out to him, wishing him luck, but he was intent on his marching and had no time for idle greetings. His step was brisk and I was convinced he wouldn’t bust.

The third interesting thing was a convoy of stake-bed trucks all piled high with loose watermelons and cantaloupes. I was amazed. I couldn’t believe that the bottom ones weren’t being crushed under all that weight, exploding and spraying hazardous melon juice onto the highway. One of nature’s tricks with curved surfaces. Topology! I had never made it that far in my mathematics and engineering studies, and I knew now that I never would, just as I knew that I would never be a navy pilot or a Treasury agent. I made a B in Statics but I was failing in Dynamics when I withdrew from the field. The course I liked best was one called Strength of Materials. Everybody else hated it because of all the tables we had to memorize but I loved it, the sheared beam.”

Cap-I think you gotta go through Mississippi before you get to Alabama.....
Jest sayin'....
When we were road trippin we used to stop at the border rest station and take a picture in front of the Welcome to (fill in the name of state) sign as proof we had passed through. We'd get a free road map too.

I also saw a guy pulling a cross with wheels on it, up on the I25 between here and Santa Fe.
On another trip near the same location I saw a guy driving a Studebaker convertible. Fifties model, I think.

If you pass my brother's house you will see the following:
Concrete pig peeking out from under a bush.
Concrete armadillo and a recently added concrete alligator in the front yard.

See how many different concrete ornaments you can identify on your trip.

Count the different things that roadside vendors are selling.


Dead dog on the edge of the road. My nephew put a "free to a good home" next to one once.

I seen a confederate flag being flown in the deep woods in Vermont. I'm not sure what he meant by that I kept driving in the national forest.
I'm where there are the old green mountain men are and you know your ok with them if no bullets are whizzing over your head or your camp isn't burned down. I been there since '86. With my camos I can blend in anywhere.

The deep south is no different than the upper north. I'd go into battle along side either one proud.

Whoever sees a Seahawks bumper sticker gets an automatic win......
