clem Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Friday was a bit too nice to sit around the house for lunch so I headed up river(Mississippi) to find some grub. I took a few pics along the way: A quick stop near oak alley then found A good place to stop on the levee. I found an old cafe with some etouffe! I crossed paths with a beast in the swamp on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted March 4, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 4, 2018 Nice. I love a lazy weekday ride on occasion. No where in particular to go, just explore the country side and find a hole in the wall cafe’ for lunch. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clem Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 It is St. James and Donaldsonville which was the Louisiana capital city for 1 year. That particular area has very cool, old architecture there along with good food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clem Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks guys. Now I need the side cases so I can bring leftovers home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted March 7, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks guys. Now I need the side cases so I can bring leftovers home! In all seriousness, that has been one of my favorite aspects of the FJ. I stopped at a little roadside taco trailer last Sunday for breakfast, and ended up bringing home three dozen fresh homemade pork tamales for the family. I’ve never had a bike with hard bags before, and now can’t fathom being without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I wanted to post this up as a comparison to the last photos I posted. The river is getting high! From the river side: The road side: The water in the parking lot is seepage through the levee, it hasn't rained here in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 We're on flood watch for the next several days. Getting quite a bit of water quickly. I'm personally not in danger of flooding but this happened not too far away last May. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wow! That stinks. The army corps of engineers did open up the local spillway but the water still rose up. I live about 13 miles from the river and if the levee would break, I'd probably have water at my doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
