Expanding on what TPS said, IF you take I-10 instead of 90, there is one in Laplace. Don't remember the name and I have never been there, so I don't know if they are any good.

If you take the US Hwy. 90 rather than the I-10, there are a bunch of them in and around the Des Allemans area. Zam's is the only name I can think of, but there are like 3 right there between Raceland and Des Allemans complete with highway road signs directing you to where they are.

Mike, you're probably on the road, but if you read this, Steve's correct. the one off 3127 is nice from what I hear. If you take 310 south from I-10 of 310 north from hwy 90 3127 exit is right off of it. The swamp tour is about 2 miles on the left. Maybe not that far.

A Cajun Man's Swamp Cruise is pretty nice down in Gibson, LA.

Score!!!

I got my swamp tour; thanks everyone. You know, it turns out swamp touring is a major industry. The fact that people will pay good money to see this stuff and walk away ecstatic afterward is just one more reason I love Louisiana. hahaha.

Boudreaux: "So what are our assets?"
Thibideaux: "Well, we have this swampland, an aluminum boat, some assorted creatures, and my friend Poche who plays an accordion."
Boudreaux: "Excellent. We'll catch some of the creatures and cover them in hot spices & cook them, paint up the aluminum boat, and call up Poche & tell him we have a gig for him. We'll charge city people big money for all this."
Thibideaux: "But Poche only sings French."
Boudreaux: "They'll like it even more."
Thibideaux: "We're gonna get rich."
Boudreaux: "Bye bye dead end job!."
This is what America is all about.

I found a guy named "Champagne," who took us out near Breaux Bridge. (I forgot to ask him how to pronounce his name.) Really nice fellow, with a cool no-nonsense boat, lots of fun facts, amazing scenery & wildlife, and ALLIGATORS! everywhere! Yeah! Casey & I had a great time, and the kids were very impressed. They'll be talking about this all week at school.

I realize that, for a few of you, me saying you should check out a swamp would be like you telling me I should check out some Houston traffic. But I think we do forget what we have in our own back yard, and I find the business of tourism quite fascinating.

Casey took some wonderful pictures. We'll share them as soon as I get a minute. They're truly amazing. Everybody go out and do something fun!

Since you made it back safely, I take it you weren't piloting the boat?

Sounds like it was fun....much more fun than Houston traffic....

 

[Brennan77]

Cool deal. The guy's name was more than likely "Shom pine".

Ladies &amp; Gentleman: The Swamp.

--- Casey takes nice pictures. The kids were visibly dazzled too.

 

[skymike]

wait, there's more!

Call me weird, but I think swamps are beautiful... and interesting.
So here I am -- trying to find a way to add the letters E-A-U-X to my name.

Since Kaseimo took these pics, I realized she isnt in any of them. And that is such a loss, that I mus include something with her. Here she is with radio legend Paul Christy, a bit close, I observe.

 

[primadox]

Looks like it was a fun trip!

Drew and I can't wait to see ya'll next weekend, assuming that we're all still on for Woodrow's for the draft?

Paul Christy looks like a dirty old man...

 

[FishingRodLady]

I don't know if we would call you weird because you like swamps but...

:_rofl: :hookline: :_rofl:

Seriously, it looks like a great thing to do. Next time you're going to have to take me along.
