Day 34

Kirbyville, TX to Merryville, LA. 73 miles. 800 ft.

We have entered Louisiana!!! Finally finished Texas after 19 days. That state is so big!

We left our RV Park campsite around 8:15. Although we liked it a lot the mosquitoes made it hard to be comfortable. I actually started riding around the RV park while waiting for Craig before leaving just to keep them from biting me. We had gone first 30 days without any insect problems! We are now in the swamps of Louisiana

It was pretty cloudy all day. But humid in the morning. We stopped for some donuts at 10am and I was drenched in sweat

The terrain was a mix of farmland and the Big Thicket heavily wooded areas. No hills to speak of so we made good time and got to Merryville by 4:00.

It’s a very small town that has built. Small cabin in their town center for cyclists along with a bath house. The maps we use has a phone number to call and they share the access code. It is wonderful! And free

A new wildflower. Sorry it’s blurry
Some of the swamps we passed. Mosquito breeding ground!!
