Cajun Country

Another great start with temps in the high 60's, blue sky's, a light breeze and flat country.  LA 190 still has wide shoulders, traveling along the pine lined roadway.

Into Cajun Country and riding through Eunice, LA, settled by early Acadians in 1894, a area with rich prairie farmland.




Passing a Louisiana cemetery (above the ground).

The second half of the ride, shoulder conditions varied and sometimes were non existent.  I did a lot of dodging potholes and gravel.

I rode 13 miles east of Opelousas, formerly a French trading post settled in 1720, named for the Opelousas Indians.
Opelousas is where we are spending the night.
