Henderson, Louisiana

field on fire
Wednesday, November 2nd.  We had a long drive today.  It totalled about 350 miles and for us that's a long day.  We got up and got going by 8:30 in the morning.  We're on I-10 all the way to Arizona.  So today we went thru Alabama, Mississippi and into Louisiana (pronounced "Lou zi ann a", according to Jan, who is an authority on southern speech).

sugar cane
pool area at campground
We got to the campground here in Henderson and were greeted by sugar cane fields being burned so a new crop can be planted.  It's thick smoke, but fortunately the wind is carrying the smoke away from us.  The campground is very nice and would be a fun family place in the summer.  But we're only here for the night and then it's off to Texas tomorrow.  We'll be in Tucson on Sunday and then up to Fountain Hills on Tuesday.
