LA 500 Improved

500 cuts across the forest from US 167 at Packton to US 84 above Jena. It follows what was the Louisiana & Arkansas RR, later the Louisiana Midland. Al and I used it to its fullest during our investigation of those RR's. It's a backwoods La. highway. That doesn't tell you much but it is paved and probably dangerous during hunting season.



This is downtown Georgetown, the midway point.



Next is the famous Little River Bridge east of Georgetown.
