More Bayou scenes

Driving through the south- Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas was very interesting-and very different from our Pacific Northwest. The land is very flat from the eons of river activity and there is standing water and fingers of waterways- bayous - everywhere. We picked up a truck load of frozen shrimp at one of the inland bayous. It wasn't called Bubba Gumps- but it could have been. Right behind the building we loaded from was this waterway with the shrimp boats tied up and two guys fishing from a little skiff. It was very sweet.


We also saw a new crop for us- Sugar Cane - growing in the Louisiana low land. Here is a field that was being harvested. We saw other fields in earlier stages of development.
