Bill had a high school reunion in Lake Charles, Louisiana. We took the scenic route via southern Missouri's springs and mills, Graceland in Memphis, the Natchez Trace parkway and battlefield sites, Opelousas and the heart of Cajun country. While in Lake Charles, we visited an art gallery and swamp trail in Orange, TX. The way home included a tour of the Talimena Scenic highway in the Winding Stair mountains of Oklahoma and a stay at Hidden Valley Guest Ranch near Eureka Springs.
