Golly

Seems like everytime I turn around, my atlantic2pacific compatriots are given lodging and a hot breakfast. Meanwhile I'm in some backwoods holding a tarp over my head getting bitten to death by mosquitos. Where can I get an attractive walking companion? Any takers? Hah! I'm happy enough with my walk and Louisiana is the nicest thus far. A nice cool wind today and cloudy skies make for a pleasant walk. The tire tread on one tire has completely broke thru and the foam innards are showing. Time for some Jerry rigging. It won't be pretty but hopefully will make another few hundred miles. I feel comfortable in this state, and making good time on the flat wide shoulders. After Alexandria I'm going to try and push hard for Shreveport.
