We marked the upper part of the Lake Henderson trail yesterday. Bobby Dickerson and Paula Thibodeaux came, as well as two newcomers: Ray Broussard and Hal Gilder. Both brought their boats. Hal has a nice fiberglass center console boat, which was easy to work from. Ray went with Bobby and Paula, which worked out well. Bobby carried the 4x4's on his boat while Paula and Ray did the piledriving from Ray's smaller boat.
Our homemade post pounder, also called a mother-in-law, turned out not to fit over a wet 4x4, and I wound up having to use it as a hammer of sorts. Back to the drawing board on that one.
Paula said the urge to use the bathroom sprang on her as soon as the boat she was in pulled away from the dock. Up near the top of the lake there are some houseboats piled up on the side of a channel; Paula said she nearly stopped at one where some hunters were cleaning ducks, but when she got close enough, she saw they were wearing pink tighty-whities. She decided to wait.
Hal and I ran into a pair in a canoe on Lake Fordoche, who said they had found the trail on our website. They put in at the Dixie Pipeline canal, and were paddling upstream. Dixie Pipeline might be a good spot for our next kiosk.
Tommy Warder and I will be back out there Monday to mark more trail.
