Mississippi, Long Leaf Trace

New Orleans Wedding: Chris and Molly, Day 2

What a peasant surprise to wake up at a campground was just off the Long Leaf Trail. I rode the trail twice, one on the way to New Orleans and once on the way back.

It's a bit chilly this morning

Turn-around

Second ride on the way back to Chicago starting at the campus of Southern Mississippi.

New Orleans Wedding: Chris and Molly, Day 1

On my way to Chris and Molly's wedding.

To West Memphis, drove 8 hours. Stopped for dinner Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston, MO home of the Throwed Rolls. It was huge. But empty when I was there. The rolls were good. I took some with me.

Stayed in hotel in West Memphis right off I-40.

Throwed Rolls!?

Ducks Unlimited Park

Big River Crossing

Mud Island

Levee Trail gravel was unpleasant, turned around

Scary West Memphis neighborhood

Couldn't find campground in the dark, Jeff Davis Lake
