I also stopped at a town called Honey Island, and got an iced tea for hydration. The store had T-shirts, so I got a fuchsia one. Yellow would have been my first choice, but they were out of that in medium.
Tomorrow, it’s 30+ miles to Kirbyville, then 50 more to DeRidder, LA. Those are the next cities with motels. I will be conservative and stop at 30 miles.
Miles today: 60.9

It almost looks as though you’d have to swim to cross the street!
Just after the peak rain, there were streams in the gutters up to a foot deep, but 15 minutes after the rain stopped, those were down to less than an inch.
I see on the weather report that you have record heat back in California – that doesn’t sound too fun, either.
The remnants of Tropical Depression Cindy are still coming down on us, here. Forecast says “AM Thunderstorms,” suggesting clear in the afternoon. Tomorrow, it says “T-Storms,” suggesting all day long. I’m tempted to try the entire 80+ miles today, but after 30 miles, I’ll probably come to my senses.

I hope your shoes dry out…
