DeRidder to Ville Platte, Louisiana. 77 miles today. It doesn’t take much to get us excited these days. A box of donuts at the first rest stop did the trick. Yum. When crossing into Louisiana the roads got better. Yet the rest of what we have seen is economically more depressed than Texas, the state we had previously ridden through. We also rode through country today where there were crayfish bogs on one side of the road and rice paddies on the other side. Two good sources of food for this part of the country. We took a picture with a store owner where we had a rest stop. The people here are very nice to us and always want to talk to us. And finally, another Mexican restaurant tonight. We have had quite a bit on this trip. Can’t go wrong with beans and rice.
