No probably not walk, but a fit cyclist could easily cover that distance during daylight hours. Are there any stories of anyone cycling from New Orleans to Baton Rouge for evacuation? Does the route that the cars used to drive to Baton Rouge have a paved shoulder where the bike could easily pass the slow moving traffic?
