It’s October 1st and 92 degrees by mid afternoon. Apparently Mississippi and Louisiana are unaware it’s been Fall now for 10 days now.

I made 50 miles for the day and I’m just 50 miles from Baton Rouge. 50 miles seems to be my makeable milage per day without completely exhausting myself. I’m thinking of trying to stay overnight in Baton Rouge just to get out of the heat. I’ll have to find a really safe place to leave Little joy though. There is not a single marina below Memphis where I know its safe. We’ll see.
