i was on a cross country trip. following the Adventure Cycling Southern Tier route through Louisiana. it crossed the Atchafalaya swamp along a five or six mile bridge (one in each direction) that must have been built in the 40's.

it was early morning rush hour. there was zero berm. the road was narrow. drainage grates made me ride three feet from the concrete rail. i made many people, very, very, very angry.
