HERE WE ARE IN MISSISSIPPI

It's hard to believe we are through Louisiana and into Mississippi! Today we had a choice of a route and most of us chose the longer route. Last year there was an issue with two dogs that bit people, so they added an alternative route which was 26 miles shorter but on a road with little or no shoulder and lots of logging trucks.

Last night we stayed Bogalusa and the odor I kept smelling was from the paper mill in town. I guess that is where the logging trucks were all heading.

I was surprised that the section we rode on today was quite hilly. We also saw some beautiful open pastures filled with yellow flowers, some horses, some llamas,and a few cows here and there. My legs forgot how to climb or at least they weren't as efficient as they once were a few weeks ago! We did see some dogs and several started to come out at us but we talked or really YELLED them back into their yard/space.There were storm clouds around for a few hours, and I thought we were going to get wet but it held off. The wind was blowing a little bit today so it made the ride a bit harder, but all in all it was a good day.
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Robin
