Louisiana - El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail
Along the way between Cane River Creole National Historic Park and Austin, Texas, I found that I was following a portion of the old El Camino Real trail. The trail goes from Louisiana all the way to California, but the portion I found myself on was in Louisiana and Texas.
Along the way, there were two historic sites that I stopped at. They were interesting, and there was information posted about the site, but tours at both of the sites were "by appointment only", and I was not able to take advantage of that.
One of those sites was Fort Jesup, which was a location that the US armies used in fighting in the war with Mexico.
Another site was Los Adaes, which was the capitol of Tejas In the 1700's.
