Retreat/Recreation:  Day hike in the Felicianas (weather permitting); possible science play "Proof" TBA 

Map to Mary Brown Center.  OK, it's real near The Bluffs.  Call it 5 miles down high 965 instead of 6, near the Audubon Historic Site but it is on the north side of the road.  At the Mary Brown Center is a lovely pond with gazebo--watch ducks land, look for alligators, etc.  There is about a one-mile, very easy (if somewhat confusing) nature trail.  One can have lunch at The Bluffs, which is a beautiful golf resort, after the hike.
