La.38 runs into Amite. Amite is a busy hub and not for one who enjoys the open road.
It is a great little town to visit on the weekend. The City of New Orleans comes through at about 4:30. Go down to the station and wave to Arlo.
Oops, back to the ride. As I was saying, La.38 heads into town. I needed to go north and avoid that. My usual route was closed due to a bridge being out. Yes, it was out and I found out the hard way by doubting the sign once again. My alternative was McElveen.
If you think "MC" stands for "motorcycle", then you've ridden with a black helmet too long in the hot sun."MC" is short for Mac, no, not a first name, but, part of a last name. Deep breath. McElveen is Scottish. This area was settled [in part, Mz Panhead] by those from Scotland. 99% of all history books do resign themselves to that "fact". Sorry, I just can't let it go. Deep breath.
The City of New Orleans is a passenger train.
Loose ends. I worry too much. Maybe I'm taking this thing as serious as Mz Panhead. |
