Good riddance louisianna

Sorry it's been a while, but except for a small number of cool individuals, louisianna sucks. Starting with our departure from new Orleans here's the story of the land of a thousand biting insects: we rolled down route 61 for about as far as we could on day 1 of this leg of the trip, until we found an oil pipeline/ refinery and we camped out just beside it. The spot wasn't bad, but we did get harrassed a little by a curious armadillo. Next we pushed for a day to a town called sorrento and walking into a dollar general we met Laverne. Laverne was really excited about our trip and invited us to stay with her and her husband Jitter. Jitter is a hell of a cook, and let us try his crawfish fettuccini which had 15 lbs of crawfish in it. In the morning we took off again towards what happens to be the cesspool of America (at least as far as people go). I'm talking of course about Baton Rouge, translated from French: "let's let the Americans have our rudest people and have them carry on the Parisian tradition of being a stuck up prick whenever possible". Fortunatley Josh had a freind in town from his airsoft site who helped us out so that was one cool thing, and there's a fantastic skate shop called Board Lords in the mall of louisianna. So we gladly left baton rouge (or tried to) only to find out the bridge over the Mississippi river is not passable on foot. Luckily after about 4 hours of waiting by the bridge somebody let us hop in the back of her truck and took us to the other side. We rode into a town called port barre where we met Sandy who took us in and cooked us dinner and made us cookies and brownies and such. After staying with her we skated up to chicot state park. Chicot wasn't a bad park except raccoons and biting insects. I've never been bit up this bad before. There are literally hundreds of bug bites on each of us. It wouldn't have been so bad but we were stuck there due to rain storms. After 3 days in chicot we headed up to kincaid resevoir up in the kisatchie national forest. We camped out there for a night with the usual bug bites and such (deet doesn't work, louisianna bugs treat it like hot sauce). Then it got worse. The roads we were directed to take (F U google) led us down dirt roads for two days. Luckily we ran into Casey, who took us down into town where we met a bunch of cool people (Jessica you are drop dead gorgeous). We took off again in the morning from where we met Casey and headed north west as far as we could go in a day and we made it to a few miles west of Converse louisianna. There we grabbed cheeseburgers and threw on our reflective gear to go find a place to camp. After 10 more miles we ended up camping next to a boat launch. And finally the next day we rode north to logansport out of louisianna!!! A few miles west of logansport (like 15 or so) is a town called Tenaha Texas, and that's where we got the worst hotel room ever. We thought bug bites were bad by the river, but this hotel room had so many bugs it was ridiculous. Anyway that almost brings us up to date. Y'all take care
