I traveled about 25 miles today.
This beautiful day graced us with many miles of safe walking, much of it along very unsafe roads. The levee around the lake is being worked on so we were diverted. Walking right beside 65+ mph semis isn't much fun. Once we got back on the levee, we ran into these three WARRIOR HIKE participants. It was the highlight of the day to chat with them for a few minutes. They are all hanging on hammocks and say it's very comfortable. We also meet a couple nice ladies at Becks Store in Lakeport. They let us get water and use the restroom, and chatted about the area. Other than that, it looks like we might finally be out of the sugar cane fields. We caught a glimpse of the lake rather than the miles of marsh that surrounds it. Saw, and heard, an airboat. And met my first lock tender - a guy that opens the lock for boats to pass.
