Day trip Dorcheat Bayou [pics]lots of em

[a Bald Cypress]

Well, today a couple of geezers and five [5] count em lovely ladies went for a paddle up the bayou. Dorcheat Bayou runs from Ark. into La. We put in at Dixie Inn and went up Bayou for around 3 or 4 miles. Ate lunch turned around and came back. All in all a fine day.

At the put in.

The start of the float

There ARE fall colour changes, even in La..

There is nothing wrong with aluminiun if it gets you on the water. And I think the bonnets are something else.

The other geezer taking it easy.

Louisiana homestead.

And finally, a Movie Star type sittin in a fine WOOD craft.

I love the looks of the trees with the Spanish Moss.

Navin: You know, while you were playing that just now, I had the craziest fantasy that I could rise up and float right down the end of this coronet, right through here, through these vales, right along this tube, and right up against your lips and give you a kiss.
Marie: Why didn't you?
Navin: I didn't want to get spit on me.
