Sunday 29th January
A massive storm system passed through very slowly. The day was very dark and wet so our plans to visit New Orleans had to be postponed.

| The campsite quickly turned into lakes |
There were some hiking trails at the park I was keen to explore but after the heavy rains I knew they would not be easily accessible so I walked on the Tammany Trace instead. I knew this would be a long hike so I left Morgan at home - which turned out to be a good idea as very surprisingly no dogs are allowed on the 31 mile trail. I walked to the nearby town of Mandeville and enjoyed seeing the old homes and businesses in the historic area before walking home, covering over 10 miles.

| Book n Bean, shame it was closed I would have enjoyed a coffee and a new book. |

| Could not see the lake it was so foggy. |
On Tuesday I decided to try the trails though I quickly regretted it. It was 4.5 miles of mud and lakes which covered the track and in places the only way through was to get wet. Morgan needed a wash when we returned.
Looks a great city New Orleans full of character. Heard it’s got great food as well. X
