I couldn't help but admire the beauty of the bayou this time of year: Colorful leaves floating along side the cypress stumps, the smell of swamp water mixed with two-stroke exhaust is a welcome combination.
We are headed into Horseshoe, which is where Paul Mueller won this event last year. It requires about 15 minutes of idling through stumps and trying to avoid getting high-centered on a stump. But it's awesome back in here.
