I live almost two hours from the Arkansas Border, and as Tina will tell you, one can drive two hours south of New Orleans and still stay on land. I guess a trip from Arkansas to the end of the earth might take almost eight hours. (Less if you have a strong bladder, or don't stop for food, and that's pretty much impossible.) -- Natchitoches has a few acres of swamp, but most of the Parish is rolling timberland or delta-like farmland. The Red River runs through Natchitoches Parish, and the Cane River (actually a lake) is the old route of the Red. -- Regards, -- Sonny http://www.sonc.com --- In a message dated 5/11/2004 1:08:18 AM Central Daylight Time, daniel.ridings@muspro.uio.no writes: By road?
