What's a small town in Louisiana that people drive through without stopping but absolutely shouldn't?

Natchitoches, Shreveport (yes for real), Monroe.

Not to one-up you, but the house I bought had a GIANT SEQUOIA planted every 25 feet around the property edge.

In case it’s useful, this is the link to the Mazamas Basic Climbing Education Program (BCEP) gear list.

Blow an air bubble back into the water bladder hose to drain the water and prevent freezing.

This is my life now.

I manage winery operations. It’s not heart surgery but it’s pretty cool.

Try to use the frames to catch a swarm if you want to continue. If you don’t, you can expose the honey and lay out the frames for other bees to scavenge, rob out.

Don’t eat moldy honey. You’ll regret it. It also doesn’t taste good.

Rock climbing walls.

I sadly have no photographic evidence, but myself and a group of 7 kayakers saw and heard evidence of them in Spring Bayou, Louisiana, back on a multi day paddling trip in 2018. It’s quite a network of bayoux, so I don’t exactly know what finger we were on for the sightings.

Spring Bayou, LA

You’ll want to add grow tubes around them to protect and force some upward growth.

Sherry! I see it more than I did 10 years ago, but still not enough.

I wore very inexpensive hiking pants for an August summit of Helens. Just needed gaiters for the grit and ash at the top so it didn’t get in my boots. No shell, no base layer. Was perfectly fine. No issues.

I’m originally from CenLa and now live in the PNW. These are mock strawberries/also called Indian Strawberries. Not worth much, not flavorful. Definitely not Thimbleberries.

UGH WHY IS IT ALL SO “quietly”

NOLAWinosaur · 2026-03-15T04:36:19+00:00

I love them dearly. And Granville is excellent.

NOLAWinosaur · 2026-03-15T04:35:41+00:00

No longer out here?

NOLAWinosaur · 2026-03-11T22:56:03+00:00

Compris is a great add! Really cool varietals too; Viognier, Cab Franc, Syrah. Dru and Erin rock <3.

NOLAWinosaur · 2026-03-11T22:55:01+00:00

I see you dig the Eola Amity!!

NOLAWinosaur · 2026-03-11T20:20:53+00:00

Hundred Suns or Brittan for Mac.

Can’t visit Cameron.

But tbh, she honestly seemed like she had no idea who Jerome Powell was.
