Master of Random Thought
Been cruising the backroads around Baton Rouge lately. Thought I'd share some of the scenery. Except for the occasional storm, the weather's been pretty nice, somewhere in the 50-70 degree range.
Took a tour of Alligator Bayou to set up a field trip for my daughter's school.
Much to my surprise, I discovered a nice little twisty road through the heart of the bayou. It's got tighter turns than I've seen anywhere around here with a speed limit of 20mph for seven miles. There are no guard rails, no camber to the road, and the water comes right up to the edge of the embankment about 5 feet down. Bottom line: DO NOT overrun a turn!
The bayou road runs into the River Road, which parallels the Mississippi from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. This old general store sits at the intersection.
A little further down the River Road, I came across this Jesuit Retreat.
Across the street from the Jesuit Retreat.
Tried to snap a shot for TWN's "everywhere thread, but the shadows were in the way. Guess I have an excuse to take an early morning or late evening ride.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
