Ride the River 2017

Minnesota to Louisiana, 2,320 Miles

Day 42 - New Orleans to Port Sulfur

Leah

Easier ride than expected out of NO.  Rode through a quiet French Quarter, Marginy and Bywater, into the outskirts of NO.  Industrial mixed with history - major Civil War cemetery on the River.  Eventually made it to the bayou land - long stretches of levee, trailer homes, a few refineries, scrub woods and swamp.  Excitement of the morning was the best road kill of the trip - a wild boar.  River is big - lots of big ships, barges, terminals.  Lunch at a diner by the Port La Hache ferry with a chockingly good shrimp po boy.  Crossed the River to the West Bank to end the day.
