October 31, 2015

We started out October 31st, 2015 by hanging out for a bit in the French Quarter.   After that we did a little E fit and watched a row team practicing in the canal by our camp site in New Orleans.

Then started the drive.  A storm was rolling in, so we hooked up and took off toward The Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.  We’ll tell you all about our mining experience tomorrow.

We crossed the mighty Mississippi yesterday in the rain in the Baton Rouge Port.

One of the most exciting things for the day was captured in the picture below.  We were in what seemed to be not such a nice area of a small town in Arkansas.  We took and alley (which might have been our first mistake) to which we ended up stuck.  We were stuck because of a low laying electrical wire.  But, being married to such a smart guy, we figured it out and did surely the smart thing!  We held the wire up with a stick and drove under it!
