A day in Baton Rouge

We spent a very pleasant day in Baton Rouge today. The weather was great, no sign of the promised rain.

We visited LSU and saw the 2 Native American mounds on campus, Mike the Tiger, the old Louisiana capitol building, the new building, and threw some stones into the Mississipi river.

Tomorrow morning we pick up Carol G. near the New Orleans airport, then it's off to Dulac. Tomorrow is gathering day.

I got a message from Rex tonight that his flight from Dallas was canceled, so he will spend tonight there and join us tomorrow.

The forecast still shows rain for tomorrow, which should present no problems as the main goal of the day is to gather everyone in Dulac.

There are mentions of the Houma tribe here in Baton Rouge, so the tribe must have claimed a considerable territory at one time.

Thank you Greg for setting up this communication for us "stay at homes". I was glad to hear that you had some contact with Rex. He called me from the ground when his plane landed at Dallas, after being diverted from Houston by an ice storm. He then called from the hotel where he is staying tonight and will catch a flight early Sunday morning for New Orleans. Sometimes things don't go QUITE as planned. You are all in my prayers. Wish I could be with you on this great adventure.
Love, Linda K.
