16-Apr-2001 -- This is the sixth of the confluence points around my hometown of
Minden, LA, that I have visited. It is about 100 yards east of Wyant Road in
Caldwell Parish, LA. The confluence point is on the side of a ravine on the
edge of the first high ground at this latitude west of the Mississippi and
Ouachita rivers. I traveled southeast from Banks Springs on LA 849 to
Copenhagen crossroads and then followed the twists and turns of Wyant Road to
get there. The environment is one of open hardwoods on steep hillsides mixed
with pines on the ridge tops. A few blooming wild phlox scattered among the
trees offered the only contrast to the shades of brown and green.
