Getting rid er De Ridder

Thank you all for your concern over gastro-distress. Hopefully, I am on the way back.

Today we got a late start on purpose and took it easy heading East. It was a beautiful, yet cold day that began at 43 degrees and never hit 60. We also had a real nice tailwind. Perfect conditions for my situation.

So far, the countryside around here has been very much like inland Florida. Lots of pines, lots of water and not many hills at all.

We planned to do only 60 miles today, but when we got to the only accommodations in the town of Mamou, one could say we were motivated to continue on to Ville Platte. That is where we ended up after 76 pretty easy miles.

A note on the pictures - we think we have really been shorting the photo album, but the last few days have not been rife with photo ops. We will try to have a more creative eye, but you all have seen pine trees, right?

  1. I've been watching the weather, and aside from the cold, it looks like you guys dodged a bullet. there are all kinds of storms east of you - but I guess they got there before you and headed east. Anyhoo, good to hear that you are better, Jake. Fine photos!
