Things to See at Fort Polk

While Fort Polk is known for it's limitations within the immediate area, it does provide a good array of activities within the surrounding area.  One of these locations is Nachitoches (pronounced Nack-a-tish). Nachitoches is a cozy town that is known for the City of Lights during Christmas, NSU and for filming Steel Magnolias.  From Fort Polk, the drive to Nachitoches will take you along LA 171 which is a winding road through a lot of wildlife. Every time I drive the route I am bound to see animals. Wild boar, cows, deer, wild turkey and my favorite wild horses.

My girlfriend Kara and her husband are avid Geocachers and managed to come across this amazing group of wild horses on one of their recent trips on 171. It is definitely worth taking the drive.

  

                                 

Shirataki Noodles in Miso Tofu Soup with Salmon

Shirataki Noodles are quickly becoming one of my favorite things. They are easy to prepare and can replace just about any pasta dish without the carbs or calories.  Today I had a taste for Ramen but I would rather not have the calories or carbs that came with. Instead, I found Kikkoman's Tofu Miso Soup, added the noodles, salmon and seaweed and I was in Heaven.  Even my 2 year old couldn't get enough.  Pescatarian Approved!
