re: Buffalo River Paddle Trip

Went years ago when I was at LSU. Had a blast.

Don't do the following stupid things:

1. Smoke so much weed you miss the I-49 exit to Shreveport, have no map or basic understanding of getting from Baton Rouge to Shreveport, and wind up driving state highways from Lake Charles to Shreveport.

2. Get caught in a storm so fierce while driving you literally think you're going to die.

3. Get to Shreveport so late (around 2 a.m.) and drive through town with weed in the car while being followed by the local mountie and get so paranoid that you pull into a gas station and dump the weed down the toilet.

I'm not saying I did any of those things, nor am I saying anyone with me did any of those things. It's just good general advice.

P.S. The river was great and the camping was great. I recommend having a book to read while your mates are tripping and playing around with glow sticks in the dark.

Just in case.
