| North of Poland, turn east and go see the dam. It is a great place to take a break with extremely clean restrooms. |
| The purpose of the dam is to maintain water level and to provide locks for passage up and down the steps. In all my visits, I've only seen one barge and it was docked.. There are 5 or 6 more dams further north, each with simular facilities, including picnic area and boat ramps. |

| And, what would Roberson Bridge cross? |
| I had negociated south Alexandria and now was on the west side of US.71 heading west on the back roads west of LSU at Alexandria. Go Tigers. |

| This is a bird. Gotchagin.. |
| Ok, here's a quiz. What lies to the west of the Boeuf. We're going there. |
