Georgetown

Yep, more graveyard pictures. These are not your south La., above ground graves built to evade high ground water. The heavy cement grave caps seem to be made to hold down any potential floater caused by an occasional flood. Just my guess. I've only lived in South La. since 1956 so I don't know it all, yet. This graveyard is located right on Bayou Rouge which we will cross in a moment.

Here we go.

Headed north on Bayou Rouge Rd., one of my favorites. It's paved, but not too much.

Bayou Rouge hits 1178 which takes you on into Evergreen where the famous Bayou Rouge Pedestrian Bridge is the town's pride. Mayor, you have some boards that are falling through. I felt them give and thought, "Here I go again". Please do something.

View of magnificent Bayou Rouge from the bridge. This bayou was a well worn steamboat route in "its day". It goes to Cotton Port where, nearby, three important bayous merge. Well, they use to be "important bayous". Ok, they are still important but not for steamboat travel unless you have a damn steamboat. Ok, Fred?

Here's the "ah-cher" picture of this ride. It's an ibis. My wife told me that. She can be wrong. Our marriage license documents that.

I took Rabbit Rd, great name, out of Evergreen, headed for La.115. This is the Magnolia Baptist Church. There are a zillion "Zion", "Little Zion", "Calvary", "Triumph", etc, churches out in the countryside, but, I can't remember a "Magnolia", so it got its picture taken.
Someone is green roofing the churches in the area. That's the third one I saw. The little churches are, of course, community supported, making them frequent since in the country you don't have to go far to have a different community. Just an observation everyone knows but does not think of daily.

Rabbit Rd. looked good and Mz. Guzzi patiently waited. At least when I turn her off she shuts up. Oops, wife does the same thing, not good.
