Northwest Louisiana’s Highlights on a Glorious Spring Day

We set out from Shreveport early this morning on a tour across Northern Louisiana, beginning on an interstate but quickly getting off on the smaller blue highways lined with pine trees, some clear cut, and some showing the replanted trees for a future harvest.  Our bus trip took us for several hours, to the towns of West Monroe, Monroe, and Natchitoches.  Here are some of the interesting things we saw today in this rural part of the state.
