GATOR 🐊

Not the greatest of overnight accommodations, but the Indian couple who ran the joint were friendly, happy for the business — and kept the room clean.  Location?  Across a two-laned road from our parking lot.  Civitan Park, Winnsboro LA.

Went out a bit fast for Day One.  Pitch black, except for my headlamp — stayed top 3 outta fear of what lurked in the dark.  Swarmy humid swamp smell & the croaking/clicking sounds of nearby gators.  By mile 7, had moved into first place.

Yeah… that scary.  Y’all know I’m slow.  LOL>  Daylight exposed fire ant mounds, lush tropical vegetation & a row of turtles sun-bathing on a dead log.

What about…  Oh yeah, there were gators.  Spring season when juvenile males fight & wrestle to move-up the breeding pyramid hierarchy.

Have marathon’d Louisiana twice in 3 weeks.  Check, done.

Tomorrow: the Land of Opportunity.  Woo pig sooie, Arkansas! 🐽
