Well, the story titled “Last year’s floods give way to drought” isn’t so upbeat but a picture of Kaplan is featured.

Maw-Maw saw the above picture and said to herself “That looks just like Kaplan!” Sure enough, the caption reads “A farmer drives down a dusty dirt road north of Kaplan, La. Southern Louisiana, much of which was underwater after last year’s hurricanes is now in the throes of a severe to extreme drought.” This part wasn’t underwater, but the verrry south end of Kaplan was. I believe that’s the Adams’ property. It’s either that or the Herpins. North of Kaplan is sometimes referred to as Herpinville because of all the Herpin familes that live there. It’s official community name, however, is “Cossinade.”
