day 67- camping on shaky ground and copperhead sighting





Interesting night to say the least.  After taking my morning walk around the forest neighborhood I noticed some fresh tracks, wild bore hooves.  Erik had noticed the same ones not too much further away.  All within 30 yards of our camp and we're not there the night before.  Funny stuff,  still alive.

After that I just made some sweet, sweet coffee with nutella, boom.

The place we slept was called dead man's curve.  And 5 miles down river Obi-Wan spotted a copperhead, we think, swimming across the river.  Those things are fast.  And good thing it didn't feel threatened because it looked big and vicious.  It definately had some gumption.

But pretty normal day after that.  Had a banana with peanut butter  that I've been saving.  It boosted us to over 40 miles today and puts us within a day and half of baton Rouge.  Just in time to watch my steelers on Monday night football.

Right now we're camping on some ground that might or might not be someone's property.  I don't think it is after looking at the map, but ya never know.  There's also a road not 40 ft to my left and trucks and quads keep going up and down it.  Hopefully I don't get woken up to a drunken Louisianian. Louisiananite? Ya, that pun will suffice.
