After New orleans the road given is ST bernard, through the state park, then down 39. The end of the trail is past boothville and venice. There may be camping at one of those towns, looking into that. I will not stealth camp in LA. The Book recomends not taking 23 all the way back to NO as it gets hairy on that road.

Lucky for me one of my friends parents and sister live in NO, along with several decent sorts I went to grad school with, and there are a couple of roadys in those familys which I have met and seemed to get on a bit with me. So, I was thinking about dareing and taunting them to ride down to the end with me, thereby possibly being able to get a ride back to the city with thier sag, or talking them into camping and riding back the next day. I would then no doubt be lionized and carried about on the shoulders of all my slothfull, admiring and drunken friends for a couple days before being trundled into a rental car or whatnot to return home.

As to any other destinations, the only thing I really want to see is a hot sauce factory. Passed a lot the last time I drove through, but it was a monday, and all were closed? Looking forward to the cooking in your neck of the woods, Couple platters of mudbugs sounds good, and a hotdog from a street vendor is on the menu as well.

Oh, and I like the pedals on your trucker. Debating whethor or not to take my old sks quills or spd on this trip. as a sandals and socks dork, just not sure.
