Miles 245
The weather has certainly changed. We had a warm night,
even took off our extra blanket. I've retired the thin sweatshirt top and have
sleeveless for sleeping now! It was very windy in the night, we heard trash can
tipping over and blowing by. It is a balmy 66 degrees this morning. As the day
progressed we passed into Louisiana and ended up in Alexandria, LA with 75
degrees. It is still windy but did it not create any problems towing the
trailer. We just slowed down a bit. We traversed Hwy 37 and 69, which got us
back to Hwy 20. From Hwy 20 we took a short cut to 49 on LA3132. Then it was
Hwy 49 south at Shreveport, LA. As we passed a turnoff for Leesville I was
nostalgic. I hope we can take a side trip on the way back and go by Fort Polk
where Jeff was stationed. We visited him there in Feb. 1990, and towed the 1970
Ford Maverick Sport to him while he was stationed there. We were able to spend
the weekend near Fort Polk and visit him and introduce his new little brother
Steven, then we turned around and drove straight back home! We are at WM tonight and looking forward to
our 5 day stop beginning tomorrow in New Orleans!
Beautiful, thick forests
