Friday 4 April
New Orleans to Plaquemine, around 85 miles. Thought I would fawdle up the Mississippi and see some antebellum houses. Despite the recommended green route it turned out to be 60 miles of levee on one side and huge (huge) industrial plants on the other. Put head down and pedalled....
Front mudguard driving me bonkers with very slight rubbing on tyre due to restricted clearance under forks. I would just take it off, but another torrential downpour this morning stayed its execution. Po' little cyclist in the Deep South. Tomorrow just thwack on west down 190 towards Eunice (where?).
In case you didn't know...One-time lawman and pioneer land developer C.C. Duson is credited with founding Eunice, which was named for his second wife, Eunice Pharr Duson...keep on pedalling Roops
