At Whiteville, I turned east on WPA Road. For those not familiar with the history of the WPA during the Depression, here's a link They built this road. It goes across the old right of way for the SP Railroad.
  I cast down the ROW seeing this large, fine, farm house. With a jerk, I reeled it in.
Now it's mounted below.
WPA is straight, but has intrigue.
One intrigue is, "when will it end"?
   This is the backswamp of Bayou Wauksha formed with the addition of Red Bayou. Wauksha, Boeuf and Cocodrie roam this area.
     The dampness spawns palmetto forest. The bridge is for 4 wheelers carrying hunters. There are deer in this narrow protected strip. The rest is open agrarian lands drained of their wilderness supporting waters.
The fanned plant on the bottom right is a palmetto.
    Such a beautiful plant. Roots to China.
Big Foot, maybe.
An open area is planted with rice.
     Water for the rice field  is being taken from the Wauksha by the tractor's power take off connected pump. An electric meter seems to suggest a previous motor driven pump or maybe that's for the new upgrade. Coming.
      This is where I talked to the very intuitive fisherlady. That is not her line in the left of the picture. Her cast were strong and well aimed. "Plunk", I love that sound and I don't fish for fish. Maybe my "plunk" is the click of the camera?
