We have just crossed over from Texas into Louisiana today. Our time in Texas was fascinating and the terrain varied from desert to hills to forests for the last couple of days. We also have crossed into much flatter countryside which has been an enjoyable change from the hill country.
Some highlights from the last week:
Bastrop state park is recovering from a fire last year and evidence of the damage is extensive. New growth is flourishing and we enjoyed our ride from there through the rest of the park.
In Richards we stayed at Checkpoint Harley. It is a working farm and biker haven with cabins, A fresh water pool and kitchen facilities. Ernie and Doris were very hospitable and let some of our group milk the cows and feed the calves. They seemed to be living the frontier life and enjoying it.
We had really good Texas BBQ at the Smoking Gun in Coldspring just outside the state park we were camping at
It was a long 75 miles into Silsbee. But was not too difficult as it was mostly flat.
Tonight we are staying at the Museum in Merryville, LA. The town's ladies are preparing dinner for us. They have been preparing dinner for bikers for the last 30 years.
