| I'd been there back in 2004. Little did I know that I'd be back again |

| Tuesday, after lunch, I decided to give the little Suzuki DL 650 a run. I'd fixed the chain problem and it was time for her to give it up and take me somewhere interesting. I've given up on preconceived ideas on where to go and what to show you. I can't lie. Rarely has that been the case. I let the landscape talk to me. It does with the help of the GPS acting as interpreteur. The new topographic software fits this website like a glove. It is a flowing information center on what I'm passing through and where to head to continue a dialogue with the pursued subject. The map above is Tuesday's ride. The yellow lines are my route, the blue line is the route of the pursued subject, this time, would you believe, a bayou. This write will follow three bayous in fact. If you are a bayou follower, Louisiana would be a good place to be as all those little lines are bayous or soon to be bayous. The Great River Road follows that great river, The Mississippi, from way up north someplace to way down here by Venice, Louisiana. The one I did is the Great Bayou Road which follows Bayou Plaquenmine Brule from around Lewisburg to Mermentau. It doesn't take as much time to do as that other road, and it's just as scenic. I did it in, maybe, 4 hours, that other one would take you, maybe, 4 weeks? The next day, Wednesday, I would accidently strung along by two more bayous which are really twins, but not identical twins, though that can be argued if you'd like to, but keep it to yourselves. I'm not going with a "follow the bayou" theme on that one. It will be more like "try to visit the bayou where you can" as one of the twins is Very shy. Very shy. (that was a twinish thing to say) |
