Today traffic was the main concern because the road was very narrow with little or no shoulder and because it was windy and rolling there were constantly blind corners and crests. Many of the drivers waited behind us until they could safely pass; many others blew on through with scant concern for their lives or ours.
So it was some relief to arrive at Inspiration Park just west of Kentwood, Louisiana (hometown of Britney Spears). Inspiration is a non-denominational Christian camp in a park-like setting. Earlier I had thought no one else was here but now I hear faint African drumming... hmmm. The group has access to three fairly nice bunk rooms, but Dolores and I were the only ones who pitched our tents.
The two of us were also on cook duty so we raced the 4 miles into town for the supplies and supervised the making of rice, canned chili (with grated cheese and sour cream as toppings) and a Waldorf salad. After dinner the group had the daily map meeting inside because it was so cold and the grass was already soaked in dew. So I write tonight from the comfort of my cozy tent, with a puerile urge to take my chalk and add "WO" to the door of the men's bunkhouse.
