We had just visited the state highpoint at Driskill Mountain. From there we took a detour to visit a stone marker along the highway marking the location where Bonnie and Clyde got all shot up back in 1937. With or without irony, the marker itself was riddled in bulletholes, a testament to the popularity of the local sport of shooting at anything alongside roads. We followed the roads into Gibsland and Interstate-20, then onto Minden. We stopped at a local grocery to get supplies for that evening's campout we had planned.

The Webster Parish highpoint is located north of Minden along Germantown Road, which heads to Germantown. The highpoint itself is just a lonely, easily-reached little hump of land in the Kisatchie National Forest. We had a little trouble getting out of Minden due to some confusing (and lacking) signage. A bit south of Germantown, we turned off onto Kisatchie Road 829 for less than a mile to a small parking turnaround, just a few feet from the highpoint. Unfortunately the area was being used as an ad-hoc dump: a recently-cleaned deer carcass was nearby as well as an old sofa.

Our walk to the highest area covered about 200 feet in general scrub, immature trees and some vines. Undergrowth was reasonably light, probably much moreso than what we'd find here in summer, so this made our going a bit easier. Even so, once we got to the 'top', we found ourselves bending and squirming to avoid the various pointy bits. We spent a few moments tromping a few square yards of land to ensure hitting the highpoint, then returned to our truck and back to Minden and on toward Claiborne Parish. After another short highpoint jaunt, we were on our way to Claiborne Lake and its friendly local kitty.
