Day 3 Sit Rep

Not good. Didn't make it to Mt Driskill today as planned. Today was long and slow, and I am exhausted. Covered maybe 85 miles battling headwinds. Cold night tonight in a tent, somewhere on La-147 at Lowe's Camp. Driskill tomorrow, then on to Arkansas.

Much more uplifting! Close to Driskill Mountain.

It's a beautiful day in northern Louisiana

Day 3

Forest and rolling hills. Much nicer! Too bad there are headwinds and a soft shoulder. Moving slow.

This morning's flat tire brought to you buy a sharp pebble.

Safe in Alexandria, LA

203 miles down, 797 to go! The first two days were tough, but not too bad. I had a bit of a late start yesterday, and I had two flat tires today, so it's been 12 hours on the road each day.

I'm staying in a house in Alexandria, LA tonight with the family of a friend. It'll be great to sleep in a bed. I'm already stuffed full of gumbo, and had a hot shower. Little comforts feel so good.

Up and running. About 30 miles to go. Found this interesting cemetery.
