Yesterday we decided to check out the town of Many, Louisiana. It is a nice size little town and has a Walmart, plus a Family Dollar, and a Dollar General. Several places to eat at. We settled on the southern fried chicken. That bird will bite you back... has peppers in the seasoning. On the trip back I was left wondering as it was 11 miles to get to Many but only 10 to get back... what happened to the mile that was lost?
Discovered that the park has holly and southern magnolia trees. Phil showed the park ranger the spot that I found to view the eagle nest and the ranger said it was the best spot found yet. He liked it also because you have a great view without disturbing the eagles. If two many people come around they will abandon the nesting location and build elsewhere next time. The young eagle is getting better at his test flights so within a short time he will be strong enough to follow the adults off into the wild blue yonder. He is also loosing his baby fat with all that exercise. He is as big as the adults now.
The long leaf pinecones are huge...
There are a lot of birdhouses in the park. Here is a picture of a bluebird checking one of them out. I figure she could rent it cheep...
Lots of the campsites where there were children here for the Easter holidays have chalk drawings, names, and hopscotch games. It will take a good rain to wash the pavement clean again. I decided to check out what was drawn by one of the children. Was surprised to see she had drawn a sun with rays beaming down upon an angel. Above that angel is another angel but it is hard to see in the photo. What a pleasant surprise. Unlike the other children you didn't find her name but she did draw the hopscotch game.
This stop sign is a bit confusing, don't you think? Do you stop for traffic or is it a warning to stop chopping the trees..lol
I think I have finally found the answer to the age old question "if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one in the forest does it make a sound?" A couple of days after arriving here I heard what sounded like a gunshot. I mentioned it to Phil. Yesterday I found the reason for the sound. All the rains had loosen the root system of this big ole tree and it fell. So, yes it makes a sound...
Found a real honest hobbit house. Never did see the hobbits that live there. Guess they either saw me or heard me riding up and hid out...
Well, time to start lunch so will close for the day and share more tomorrow.
