On Saturday mornings if we are close to a Farmers Market we’re headed that way for the opening bell. We are also looking for breakfast as most also have breakfast vendors with the markets. When we’re in our home area of Baton Rouge, we’re pointed to the Red Stick Farmers Market. This morning we decided to look elsewhere and step out of the box for our Saturday morning treat.

Leisure was the word of the day with ‘bike stroll’ being more accurate than bike ride. The morning was warm and the sky clear blue. We were heading south on River Road with no end, just enjoying the day and sights. Continue reading
Hitched up, all secure, ready to go! Pulled out and the hitch is making an awful grinding sound and vibrating to beat the band. What to do? We have a 5th Airborne and the company had sent us a modification kit. It was installed, no problem yet the noise was deafening and concerning. Of course, it was Saturday so no chance talking with anyone at the company. So we did what we always do when we have a RV issue – headed to “Babin RV Park”. Continue reading

First decision, east or west side of Bayou Lafourche? If you’ve ever driven in South Louisiana you know that for most roads which follow a bayou, there is also another road on the other side of the bayou as well. We usually drive the east side so today we took the west side. Taking the west side, you drive through more of the many small towns while the east side is more countryside. Either side of the bayou offers great views and interesting stops. Continue reading
