about 120 miles north of New Orleans--the EASY RIDER cafe was torn down--only a couple old buildings remain in the town of Morganza where the movie was filmed...
about 150 miles from into the trip--crossing the Atchafalaya River--supposed to be one of the deepest rivers in the world???
looking up-river at some rusted out train-bridge.........
