As part of the Chapter 10 RV Rally last weekend, we went on a swamp tour in Henderson, Louisiana. We got to explore a little bit of the 1.2 million acre Atchafalaya basin and go under the I-10 bridge. We did not see a lot of wildlife because there were a lot of fisherpeople and boaters out. I'd recommend you go first thing in the morning on a weekday. I have to redo the video. 4 minutes is too long for the blog. But good chance to practice again.

Creole Nature Trail

 Creole Nature Trail

We spent a weekend in Sulfur, Louisiana at a RV rally. On the way out of town, we spent an hour exploring a little bit of the Creole Nature trail. The greeters at the Adventure Point Welcome Center did an excellent job telling us about the trail and the best points to stop on it, so we really wanted to drive at least part of it. We had the camper, so stopped at a trail head with plenty of parking and I took the dogs on a mile and a half stroll down the wetlands boardwalk and sidewalk. (Mostly sidewalk) It would be a great drive to spend the day on if you are already in the area. There are places to pull over and fish and catch crabs and a couple nice places to walk and picnic. We turned around before we got to the beach or the ferry. I would not want to explore this area in the heat of the summer, but early spring or late fall when the migrating birds are going through would be amazing. It seems like you would also find good sunrises and sunsets. As we walked the trail and enjoyed the sun and the wind and appreciated the concrete and boardwalk, I tried to imagine trekking across the swamp to earn a living before roads. People used to be a lot tougher and braver than we need to be now.
