With no particular mission in mind I left the intersection of La.16 and La.437, Enon, Louisiana. I was headed to Mississippi again to troll the backroads. I meandered up Choctaw Rd., ancient route of the Indians through these woods. It's always a great start to an outing. I crossed La.10, the section between Bogalusa and Franklinton. At Pine I went north on La.424 in and out of Thomas. La. I stayed with La.424 as it turned southeast and then north, a road out of control. Crossing into Mississippi it changed its name to Old State Line Road. Mississippians like names. I'm not going into their problem with numbers.<grin guys, I know what you all say about us Luzianians> State line metamorphosized into Flowers Rd. which went through Flowers.
I passed up Sumrall Rd., which hurt, and hit MS. 48 and went west until the chance presented itself to try out Oral Church Rd. Oral Church hit Fordville Rd. which I took west for about 20 yards, turning north on Upper Decter Rd. into Knoxo where I found the house. It is much too soon in the article to spill the beans on the the house. Later, patience.
I left the house on Les Hammon Rd almost getting run over by a crazed pickup driver. I made it up to US 98 in one piece where I saw a sign pointing to Mars Hill. Why not, I've followed ones pointing to Poland. I crossed the road and hit Old Hwy 24 East which I went west on, being a contrarian, ask my wife. I knew where I was when I ran into MS 585. I was in some of the best riding in South Mississippi. I was in Red Bluff Country. I set the bike on Sport and shot up the perfectly surfaced road until I got to the overlook and had to stop for a shot so you can drool a bit. Watch the keyboard. I didn't but I suggest you do follow 585 until it intersects 586 which I went east on until I saw Sumbax Rd. |
