Deep South Tour – Day 3
Day 3 of the tour! Finally crossed in Louisiana after a slow start. Fairly uneventful day to be honest. Came across a neat memorial park for veterans, had some delicious seafood gumbo, and got chased by some dogs somewhere in rural LA. Not much else to report!

Monday October 19, 2015
We enjoyed a sit down, order what you like, breakfast at a café across the parking lot from our motel. It was succulent. A welcome change from motel food or McDonalds. We even got on the road early at 7 AM because it was going to be a semi-long mileage day. Bob Bernie and I rode together today.
