You will notice this blog entry is a day late and lacking photos. I had a nice picture of St Charles Ave in New Orleans before my phone decided it didn't want to be alive any more. Instead I will keep this entry short and go into tomorrow/today's post a bit more.
What I accomplished yesterday was a ride from Slidell, LA to just outside Jasper, Tx. I rolled along roads that reminded me of my freshman through Junior years at Westwood High School in Palestine. East Texas looks the same from all the way down near Beaumont all the way up north of I20. Must be something in the water along the Sabine River that carries the same plant life all the way down it.
I slept at an army corps of engineering site. It was the quietest campground I have experienced. Lots of space between the sites and lots of empty sites as well. Also likely the cheapest paid site along my journey. $10 to plop down a tent for about 16 hours is pretty good.
I am doing great on the road, but camping is starting to hurt my body pretty badly. I am thankful that the next Week will be on couches or hotel beds.
