Between Sunday and Monday, I did two trips on the Bandit. Both being just a bit over 170 miles of roaming and in different directions.  Did see a few roads I had not been on , but, not many. The trip North to Sugartown and area was more new stuff than the 2nd trip to the islands.  Forked Island, Pecan Island and the other named Island towns and coming back via Little Chenere Ridge.
Played with a different setting on the G16 camera in running at in the T or speed mode at 125 , one down on ex compensation and let the camera do the rest of the settings. Ended up taking 66 pics in the two days and the mode I take them in is RAW so need a computer with the right programs to process them. Called developing in the film days. First of all, didn't have any really sharp pics so the 125 sec is way slow, Next, a spot of ??? on the lens for the 2nd day. I can't believe I have not learn my lesson on cleaning the lens every time I take off. But, was able to remove the spot from the photos I cared about, crop and adjust also in the picture of processing. Ended up keeping 15 of the 66. Which I'll go though and say a bit about each one in this posting.

I think this road is one headed towards Bundic's Lake. Not sure. Love these back roads and no traffic or very light traffic. 

Then coming into a wooded section towards Sugartown and one of the homes and the stuff collected in the yard. Always loves seeing what's in peoples yards. If they are out and about and happen to glance  my way, a friendly wave from me will most of the time get on in return. A silent greeting in passing. 

Love playing with different camera positions while riding about and no traffic. Keeps me thinking. Loved the layout of the upcoming rises. Course, most of the time it shows one of Bandit's scars from life on the roads less traveled. 

Things you come across for sale on the sides of the road. Always interesting to look at. Some, I do a u-turn on to check them out for future reference for friends that may be interested. Take a pic or two and get the co-ordinates for location. 

Farmers always at work. Either getting ready for Spring planting or doing crawfish. They keep feeding us. 

 The draw bridge over the Old Intracoastal Canal as I head South.

 Love what this Parish has done to make these little fishing docks headed South on LA 82. Probably about 1/2 a dozen in about 15 to 20 miles, Never did do a measurement as to distance between them.

And finally, homes in this area that was hit hard twice about 10 or so years ago by two hurricanes which pretty much wiped all out along the Louisiana and East Texas coasts. 

Other things are, did do a few hours out on the Mermentau River and fishing a bit. One 13" bass caught and miss two more getting hung up on branches and stuff. But, that's where the fish life. Plus, I don't keep any anyway. Attempting to learn to use a spinning reel so that's a new thing and still much to learn and time practicing. 

I did finally break down and order an easystep set up for my boat trailer. Being as I launch and load alone all the time, it'll make life easier when loading especially. I'll do a few pics when I get it installed. 

Last item on this writing is about the KLR.  I lowered it to get my old feet back planted on the ground. Plus changed the handlebars to a different bend plus riser set up. Took it out about the city yesterday and like the changes so I'll finish snugging things down today and fixint a good GPS mount or ordering a proper on to fit the handlebars. I have two of them on Bandit but those need to stay on Bandit.  

Till the next. ;-)
