So as a result, the cemetery's bury above ground. No 6 feet under here. Around Mamou, there were extensive irrigation efforts going on. Huge fields that were diked and irrigated. Lots of rice and crawfish harvesting. I had my first crawfish dish today. It was good. Sat down with a retired insurance salesman. His breakfast, my morning snack. He was really proud of the huge role Louisiana plays in feeding the country. He told me his brother farms 10,000 acres. Wow. The rain was chasing me again today. It was supposed to be 80% chance of rain when I left, but I only saw a few drops.
This is an example of some of the non-moving water that is everywhere. Today I got to the end of the 5th route map. Two to go. I still have almost 900 miles to go, but it still feels good. I rode over the biggest dike I have ever seen. Part of the system to try and contain the Missippippi. Tonight I am in New Roads, Louisiana. Doing well. Til later.
