St. Francisville to Hammond, LA (87 miles) Wednesday, April 14, 2010

As we left today, we said good bye to our self-contained riders, Doug and Kathy.  They are following the Adventure Cycling route, and we see them periodically.

Our group lined up for a photo before we left this morning.

We enjoyed our ride today, even though we had a head wind most of the way.  The roads were good, flat, and it was not too hot.

We took a ferry on our route.   Lois Natziger, Suzanne Howze and I rode across together.

At dinner tonight, Sue Hersman was happy to see her son, Mike, who was visiting from New Orleans.  It was a 50 min drive from where Mike was working there as a volunteer to help those in New Orleans still trying to reconstruct their homes from Katrina.

Tomorrow will be an easy day; only 55 miles to Bogalusa, LA!
