St. Francisville to Simmesport 61miles
We crossed the might Mississippi River on the ferry this morning. Bicycles were suppose to pay twenty five cent each but for some reason we got a freebee. The west bank greeted us with a stiff head wind as we headed north. Average speed today went down about two miles per hour.
We're staying at the Sportsman Inn. On the one to ten dump scale this motel ranks a number three with extra points given for being a bed bug training facility. Several rooms have a small child bed next to the regular size bed. We figured this is where they train the baby bed bugs to jump up on the bed.
Ron got a little freaked out when a 2" roach ran inside his pillow and I was grossed out by the dead chick grease they used to wash the bed spread. A couple vodkas got us stress free and we enjoyed another night on the road.
