This is a mess but it’s not the only messed that there is but it’s the mess that’s inside my tent that’s currently sitting just
across from the Baton Rouge Riverside just down a little bit across the bridge south right side river and basically right
next to the I can’t remember the canal or which one what it’s called.
I don’t have time and it’s freezing cold. I’m gonna have to just bundle up and survive the night but basically it started
with three days stuck in a Greyhound bus station in those three days were miserable in some ways for the most part it
was just because of constantly looking to see if the packages will arrive but then the very last night that I was to stay
there I wound up tossed out on the street due to a miscommunication between a supervisor and the security guard.
So I wound up being introduced to Baton Rouge in the street life. Now not many people are used to that and they
might’ve done something different but I didn’t have enough finances in order to get a motel room so I spent the night as
a street person and basically I walked down to the Mississippi River.
I looked at the Baton Rouge sign said a prayer turned around and started walking back ……….oh did I forget to
mention it on my way down to the Mississippi River I had a couple people tell me they were going to F me up. You
know not like they picked me……... they’re just looking for someone to F up ……….and they were walking down my
way so I just turned a couple streets over and walked a different way. I also spent part of the nights in porches in
doorways in hiding out in parking lots in choosing to try to find someplace to get out of the rain. So by the time I DID
ARRIVE ACROSS THR RIVER AND SETUP CAMP I REALLY HAD NOT SLEPT YET SO HERE WAS MY
GEAR
Or what I tossed from the kayak so far……….
