Todays mission was to get some beignets but alas we are still beignet-less. I searched for beignets near Baton Rouge and came up with a place that was not too far from our campground. The trip there was all back roads although most of the time we were in metro Baton Rouge. When we arrived (per the GPS gadget) there was no coffee place, no bakery, just a Jack-in-the-Box! And we drove through the area three times!
So we drove to Baker and I showed Cathey the area where I used to live, then I had the bright idea to drive to St. Francisville. Now as I remember it, St. Francisville was just a few miles north and west of Baker but today it was more like 30 miles. We looked around the town briefly; it's a very old town, one of the first settlements in LA and has lots of stately old houses. Then we took the ferry across the Mississippi River and back to our campground in Denham Springs. Cathey was unimpressed with the one of the world's largest refineries in Baton Rouge, she said it stunk.
