Southern Sun & Hospitality

There was plenty of sunshine and friendly people as I continued South on my journey. Crossing the mighty Mississippi into Natchez, MI. I stopped briefly for some pictures and postcards then returned to Vidalia, LA where I saw this bold and unabashed advertisement. I had to get a picture but passed on the crack. LA 15 & LA 1 are more quiet two-lanes with big sweeping curves that followed the Mississippi River, the Old River and the False River sections south to Baton Rouge, LA. It was a picturesque ride through new country and for a couple of stretches of five or six miles I took the gravel maintenance road on top of the levee. The high road gave me an expansive view of the river basin to the East and acres of farmland to the West.
