Day 11. 96 miles (813) Long day with two flats, lots of traffic and dogs everywhere. Made my WS stop before sunset, had a long hot shower and a great home cooked dinner. My hosts gave me a wonderful Louisiana State Bike map, which will go a long way towards keeping me off the busy roads on future days.
Day 12. 55 miles (868), Crossed the Mississippi today. Short day, I thought I had a WS stayover but it didn't work out so I had crash in a sleazy motel. Todays run was from Jackson LA to Simmesport LA.
Day 13. 65 miles (933), Simmesport to Opelousas LA. Nice rural run on quiet roads, still plenty of dogs but very little traffic. Rained about half the day, but had a WS stop, so a hot shower and a warm place to sleep.
Day 14. 92 miles (1025), Opelousas to Deridder LA. Again, another nice country ride with relatively light and cordial traffic. Dogs continue to be a nuisance. Rode through rice growing area. Tomorrow I should be in Texas.
