Good friend and colleague Fernando and I headed out on an uncharted Photo Expedition yesterday. We usually have a planned excursion ready for the days events, but on this day, my birthday, we had no such plans. Our journeys took us up I-55 to Ponchatoula, then over to see Tickfaw State Park (which was just a drive-through as they wanted to charge us...). We then stopped at Lizard Creek Campground and talked with the care-taker, cannot recall his name. Fernando was taken back somewhat as a friend of this care-taker pulled up got out of the car and after a few short briefs of introductions says........

"ya just can't eat crow anymore these days; they eat'n all the dead road kill..."

.....After being lured into the camper to look at a Photo his wife snapped, I knew it was time to get out of dodge! We then came across some rabbit hunters running their dogs, which was inside an enclosed fence environment; while slowly passing, I noticed two coyotes standing at the fence just inside the woodline edge, they stayed for a moment just enough for us to get a nice long gaze at them...cool sighting! We then zigzagged all over and found ourselves at Bear Island, LA just south of Killian & French Settlement. There, at the heart of the horseshow shaped island was a set of camps, a boat launch, and the infamous "Black Lake Club" Bear Lakes local watering hole. We said what the hell and went in for a few brewsky's. What was to follow was truly a crazy and unexpected adventure with the bars colorful characters such as Mr. Earl and a William Defoe look-a-like; lets see if you can guess which one he is. Below is a slideshow with audio from Mr. Earl who kept us chatting and bought us beer! Enjoy!
