I arrived at Chicot State Park near Ville Platte, Louisiana, to find a welcoming committee of one blind-in-the-right-eye racoon. It was relentless in trying to get me to either feed it or let it into the cabin so that it could find the food itself. A mix of cat and dog and squirrel.

This is Cajun Country for real. Wi-fi is available at all the McDonalds in Louisiana. Here I sit, listening to the old guys who come here for coffee because the local coffee places are no longer (as is true in many parts of the country), listening to Cajun French mixed with English, sometimes. Interesting place, really.
