Baton Rouge is the capital of Louisiana.
Baton Rouge dates back to 1699, when French explorer Sieur d'Iberville leading an exploration party up the Mississippi River saw a reddish cypress pole festooned with bloody animals and fish that marked the boundary between Houma and Bayou Goula tribal hunting grounds. They called the tree "le bāton rouge," or red stick. The native name for the site had been Istrouma. From evidence found along the Mississippi, Comite, and Amite rivers, and in three native mounds remaining in the city, archaeologists have been able to date habitation of the Baton Rouge area to 8000 B.C.

In the area for a full day of softball. Left home at 6am and got back home at 11:30pm at night after watching my daughter play 5 games. I was able to sneak out and grab a few caches between games. Thanks for the fun.
