April 1, 2017. Chicot State park Louisiana to Morganza Louisiana 72 miles. 2033 miles from the Pacific. The ride through the state park this morning was gorgeous. This Bayou is like another world. I stopped in Bunkie for breakfast and lunch in Simmeesport. After lunch I took a deep breath and cross the bridge over the Atchafalaya River. It’s just two lanes with no room for a bike. It’s a beautiful old arch bridge so it’s like climbing over a hill. The traffic was light. the view from the top was amazing. Too bad I could stop and take pictures. I then turn south east into a strong afternoon breeze. The last 25 miles really wore me out. Camp happy is set up in an RV park just outside of town. It’s Looking like I’ll be crossing the Mississippi River tomorrow morning.
