We decided to make some progress before the storm, so we rode to Bogalusa to settle in for the storm, 26 miles and 700 feet elevation gain. It rained during our ride; a surprise because it was not supposed to start until 10:00. When we arrived at Bogalusa, Cousin Duffy ventured to find us a motel; he decided on the last one that was 2.3 miles off our trail, as the others were less than adequate. While cousin Duffy was riding through the rain; I rode to see the Johnny Dominguez, house manager for American Legion Post 24. We discussed how his post is involved with helping the liaison to the courthouse, and sponsoring a “Paper Queen” scholarship for school, among the many other things that the Post does. The pulp and paper industry seems to be a major industry in the area; every other tractor trailer that passed us was loaded with pine logs.
We waited out the storm; I tried crawfish boudin, and Duffy and tried a Cajun egg for the first time from a local restaurateur- in the form of a sausage like wrap. It was tasty.
The plan is to leave at sunrise for Biloxi, MS.
