I think most of these structures are replicas. If so, this man is a craftsman of extreme talent. The place was not "touristy". It was worthy of being a State Park exhibit, although some of the buildings and stuctures I am unaware of having been in La.. There is a restaurant there and I'll bet it is worthy, also. I understand there are cabins available, though I didn't find them. It is closed on Monday, or at least it was this Monday, which was great as far as being able to ramble around at will without the throngs of visitors blocking my shots. That's a joke Fred.
A gris mill? Looks like it belongs in North Carolina.
It's a covered bridge like in Madison County.
  Am I still in LA?
Various buildings, a blacksmith shop, a church, and a school?
Old wagon and a Service Station
Masey Ferguson and John Deere
  Now this is real, I do believe. It is a East Louisiana settler's cabin. The Quachita was behind it. There were several other old homes near, but none as perfect as this one.
   What did you think of the Jim Bowie's?  I really do believe that the owner, John Ed Bartmess did the Post Office in Enterprise. It was too perfect.
It was getting late. The road immediately went down hill in more ways than one.
  The shadows were getting long and I was 200 miles from home. I took 124 west until I hit 126 south. 126 ran into 503 which ran into 127 south. At Jena, I took 8 west to 165 at Pollock. 165 to Alexandria and basically 167 home with my variations. Total round trip from my house was 387 miles. I didn't feel a thing until later. I would do it again. It was a grand tour. The best part of the ride was from Harrisonburg to Pollock. This ride was just a sampling of the area.
     And the old girl gets another picture. She showed her stuff and didn't let me down.
Italian women, they're great. She ran strong from 11am until I finally pulled in at 8:30pm.

         Let's get back home before it gets too dark.
  Road and waterways traditionally parallel each other whether you are in the mountains or in the swamps. In the moutains the water cuts the passes. In the swamp the natural levees of the streams provide the only high ground around. In this area, yes in Louisiana, these roads follow the water for the "mountainous" reason. 
   124 followed the Quachita.
   When I got onto126, it followed Bayou Funny Louis to La.127. How did it get that name?
   Funny Louis flows into the Little River which flows into Catahoula Lake to the south.
   Past Jena, I got onto La.8 which shadows Trout Creek which flows into the Little River.
   Then I crossed the Little River as it flowed south to Catahoula L., combining with all the                  
   water I had just crossed.  I got this info from a map. That was easy. Can you imagine what      
   the first guys through there had to put up with. And, I thought my little ride was getting tough.
