    Sunday Drive in the Healey

     



    I decided that my wife and I needed to take a little Sunday country drive in the Healey. Our destination was a great seafood restaurant called Middendorf's. It's around a hundred and thirty miles if you take backroads.

    It was great drive. Weather was fine and only heated up later in the afternoon.

    Middendorf's has been in business under one owner or another since the 1930's. It gets messed up every time a big hurricane comes through, but they always rebuild it. It's only about 40 miles north of New Orleans and is very popular with folks from The Big Easy. Also, being so close to the Gulf, the seafood is fresh. I always get their thin fried catfish. I'm not a big freshwater fish eater, but their thin catfish is worth a 130 mile one-way drive, IMO and I've never found any to equal it. I know a lot of folks won't eat catfish, but everything sold in restaurants around here is pond raised. Fried catfish is super common in the south.



    The view of the marsh from the restaurant:



    A few of the car:







    FWIW - I'm having a blast with the car! It is so much fun to drive something that I put so much time into. I have been making a few changes and adding a few things. I'll try to make an update to the build thread soon.
