Big flooding in Natchitoches, LA.  

We did not have to detour, but came close.

We stopped by the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts.

Hello alumni Niescja.

A big city hat.  

Notice the New Orleans style architecture.

Natchitoches is famous for meat pies.

Yum or yuck?

You decide.

Route through Texas.

In to Texas and to the first National Preserve.  

There are many species of plant and animals

here from the southeast, the midwest, and the southwest.

Many were forced to the area during the last Ice Age,

then adapted.

We took a short walk in the Big Thicket and came across this log.
