Return to the homefront
Back in New Orleans after a five day bike tour with my dog Roscoe. Louisiana/ southern Mississippi definitely earn an honorable mention for the most unique roadkill (turtles, vultures, crabs, armadillo). Saw a pack of wild boars in Mississippi, experienced more mosquito bites than I ever imagined possible, fought gnarly headwinds tooth and nail, took an ill-fated detour (NASA told me I couldn’t use the highway in question!) picked hella wild blackberries, ramps, and mulberries, and got to enjoy tons of great microbrews at the Lazy Magnolia Brewery in Kiln, MS. Three rolls of photos to come (though the mirror on my Nikon jammed and might have ruined the last/ best roll).
All in all, a decent trip. Remind me never to take a tandem on tour with my dog again though….
