As of today, I’ve ridden 2175.5 miles, or 71% of the tour is completed. Interesting day as we rode through varied parts of Louisiana. Five miles on “Swamp Road”, a private path with alligator filled swamp land. Crossed the Mississippi. Visited the Point Coupee Parish Museum, highlighting local history in the Oxbow Lake region. Staying at Camp Marydale Girl Scout Camp in St Francisville.
