Buccaneer State Park, MS

After a few extra days in Houston I was able to depart, but they all came with a purpose so I am happy they happened. I was able to see a really good friend of mine when I went down to Clear Lake, were I'm from, and then I went and checked out Karbach Brewery from Houston.

I realized at the brewery because I went there on a solo trip, that I have no idea how to walk up to someone and start talking. Something that I want to do on this trip is create a positive influence in people's lives so I need to work on that one quickly! 

I then departed for Buccaneer State Park, MS. I was leaving my home ground for the last time and I took in as much as I could of the place and Murphy and Halina helped me out with doing some fun things so I'm glad for the way things worked. 

I headed into Louisiana and stopped at the visitors center which I always love because they give out free Community Coffee.

I stopped for lunch at a classic place of my families in Lafayette, LA called Prejean's and had some good Cajun food.

When I was crossing over the bridge crossing the Mississippi right outside Baton Rouge, traffic started and so did high winds. It was stop and go traffic and when I was stopped I could really feel a lot of the bridge shaking which was a little bit spooky.

And since I had to go around the north side of Lake Ponchartrain, I found my way to the Abita Brewpub and had an Abita beer.

I eventually made it into Mississippi and found my campsite with the help of a few friendly Cajuns.

I haven't quite yet figured out where I will be later tonight but I'll find that out shortly and make my way.

Enjoy nature today.
