dateline: Monroe, LA
Slept well @ TH of MT Zion trails. Used bug netting to keep the noisey fliers out. Might have been a mosquito or 2 but I didn’t count or scratch. I culled my winter riding gear from my current clothing to join my Pisgah Works wool jersey.
Plan is to drive up to Jackson & seek medical advice on my leg. I made the Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, made contact w/ the admitting person and was out the door @ 12:35 w/ a clean bill of no additional clot. Couldn’t explain source of pain but gave me a script for Naproxen. The Ultra sound woman said it was a knot. The Dr didn’t comprehend the folk definition. The waiting room was filled when I left. The DR suggested I take it easy for several days. OK, SO I rested today and drove West to LA.
Crossed the Mississippi River, back west after 6 months absence. Soon I will see the Rockies.
Picked Monroe, LA as my stopping place because it is a larger town w/ internet access. Mall parking lot.
Forecast is for T-storms rest of week. I hope to ride Lincoln Parish park that is reviewed highly before it rains.
Land is flat & wet, lots of agriculture.
Stopped @ XG E. of Vicksburg. It saw Civil war action w/ Sherman’s troops working their way to Vicksburg. Older people developed XG & sold it to their son. She said that there has been a memeber of their family on the land since 1833.
Purple fowers are whisteria and smell so sweet.
Happy to read that your calf is DVT free.
