Please share my pain

Denham Springs, LA

OK, I foolishly thought my mistakes were behind me. Well, this one was technology related and not trailer related. But it is equally as painful a lesson.

So the story begins……..

Baton Rouge is the State capital, and this morning I visited the beautiful gothic Old Capital building now a museum and rental venue, and the new capital building where the State Senate and House of Representative sit.

Then this afternoon I headed just south of Baton Rouge along the Mississippi to Nottaway Plantation. The largest of the preserved antebellum houses in this historic region.

And of course, I got some great pictures (despite the grey day) ………. And then this evening, while importing them from my camera, I accidentally deleted them all. Sigh. I was tired, didn’t sleep well last night, and I know exactly what I did wrong, but once the delete button is hit all you can do is turn the air blue.

I have been told before, and confirmed with the GEEK Squad at Best Buy this evening that I can possibly retrieve the pics as long as I don’t reformat the card. So I’ve taken it out of my camera and set it aside to deal with when either I have time on the road or when I get home to try and see if that will work.

So, I may not have any energy to do a blog this evening, I’ll have dinner, and try and gather my thoughts and remember as much as I can and see if later this evening I have the patience to write. I use the pictures a lot to jog my memory so it’s a little difficult, but if I don’t get something down now, I will forget it later for sure.

I’m sorry, in particular, to disappoint Dane who is from Louisiana and who is along for my journey vicariously. Sigh.
