Day 62 (Part 3 - Day 25) Hermitage, LA → Plaquemine, LA

48 Miles Today, 2101 Miles Total!

The guys had a great start to the day and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. Then, they watched a barge get stuck 3 times As they got closer to Baton Rouge, the water traffic intensified. Barges were lined up the shore for miles, on both sides!

They stopped in the big city to meet up with some of Brandon's friends and family.

After their pit stop, the guys came across their first freightliner. It wasn't moving, but talk about a sight! Ian said, "it was massive!" They continued on down river, facing direct heat paired with no wind. It was a rough end to the day, but they found a nice spot to call it a night. After they setup camp, they enjoyed chili cheese dogs that Brandon's mom got for them. What a day!
