Almost got nasty!

[Catt]

After I dropped Carol off at work this morning at 6:00 am I headed for Lacassine Wildlife Refuge; the road going into the marsh is about 5 miles of gravel with about 3 or 4 simple turns with the last one being close to 90 degrees. The road is maybe 10 yards wide built on a levee with canals on both side of the road and if not canals it's marsh. Well the speed limit is 25 mph but this Coonass usually sets the cruise control on 30 which is not a problem since I've driven these roads thousands of times. So as I'm making the final turn the back of my truck hits some loose gravel putting it into a skid with the front end headed towards the marsh. I'm thinking this aint good so I let off cruise and turn the wheel which now has the back end trying to pass the front end. Now I'm headed straight towards a canal thinking Sh _ _ this aint that great either, so again with the steering wheel and again we be headed towards the marsh. This time I tap the brakes cut the wheel sliding sideways in the road and come to a stop, now I'm thinking dam_ should I go fishing or go home?

Hope you went fishing.

Sounds like normal Louisiana Cajun driving to me.

Or New Orleans driving, if you had a revolver with you.

Or heaing to Baton Rouge on the old Airline Highway for a football game.

Moral to story:  If you think there is a possibility of going into the water be sure to have your LSU or Saints football tickets in your shirt pocket!!!! ;D

P.S. Glad you are OK.  20 days to kickoff!

I'm sure you made the right decision, go fishin, right.  I know I've gotten my truck stuck on the way to a pond, walked with my gear the rest of the way, fished all day, then call someone to pull my truck out when i was done.  Fish on Playa, fish on!

If you went fishing I hope cleaned your pants out 1st.

GO BIG RED

Don't worry I grew up driving on gravel/levee roads, pavement was for city boys
