[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1586328, member: 18945"] X3! The traffic alone is a buzz killer, not to mention the Sodom & Gomorrah side of it. While some find the 23 mile long drive over Lake Pontchatrain pretty interesting, it gets pretty boring after the first couple of miles and lawd help you if there's a wreck on it. There is, a WW2 destroyer tied up at Baton Rouge (USS Kidd) that's interesting and there is (or was) a little local paddlewheel excursion boat there that takes about 2 hours to tour the immediate area of the Miss. River. It may not even be running now, as the Mississippi R. is in flood stage. It's "ok" but nothing to write the folks back home about imo. I found the Kidd most interesting because the way it is moored. When the river is down, it sits on a framework and the hull can be a hundred feet from the river's edge. When the Miss. R. is up, it's surrounded by water and is floating, kept in place by cables and steel stanchions on the river side of it.
