More trips to Baton Rouge!
Posted: Sat Apr 06, 2024 1:04 pm
Since the last time I posted about spending time in Baton Rouge, we have made three more trips! Two last year, and most recently, the two weeks prior to and including Resurrection Sunday. We got home this past Tuesday evening. Had a great time!
Leaving Baton Rouge late Monday afternoon, we were in rush hour traffic heading west on I-10 thru downtown Baton Rouge and on the bridge across the Mississippi River. Not unusual to smell hot brakes in the stop-and-go traffic, but it didn't go away as we were heading down the west side of the bridge and traffic was spreading out. We pulled over in Port Allen and found and empty lot between Popeye's Chicken and a truck stop. Found that our left front brakes were smokin' hot due to a stuck caliper that was causing the brake pads to drag. Long story short, and several God-stories later, we were back on the road in about an hour and a half!!
We'll be making another trip there in July!!
