Steen’s 100% pure cane syrup, originally uploaded by scottpartee.

In Louisiana, they have always known that corn syrup is for suckers. They have known this since before there was corn syrup.

For general information, our travel went like this:

VIE-ATL-BTR drive to Natchez, Mississippi (this was nearly fatal)

stay for a while

BTR-DEN drive to Grand Junction, CO. (this was also nearly fatal as there was a fricking blizzard going on as we drove over the mountains)

stay for a while

DEN-BTR drive to Jennings, Louisiana in the heart of Cajun country.

stay for a while

BTR-ATL-VIE
