Merryville, LA to Oberlin, LA
Uneventful day. Started by myself, but caught up with Neal and Tom R. In DeRidder at a posh smoothie store. It was more of a holistic well being store, with essential oils and healthy smoothies, but stopped in nevertheless.
The three of us left DeRidder together, but soon it was just Tom and I, grinding through the miles. Nothing but flat forests, or thickets, with some sporadic clear cut land for farms. The forests are also cut for pulp wood. The pines do not grow as large as our Ponderosas in California, so their sole purpose is for the local paper mills.
Arrived in Oberlin with plenty of time left to dry my tent, take a quick catnap, and catch up on the blogs. (Tent was wet due to condensation last night). A local coffee shop/cafe opened just for our group of ten, as they closed at 1700. It was very nice of them to open just for us, but I bet it doubled their receipts for the day!
