across Mississippi and into Louisiana

I have shared many signs we have seen along the way, but this is on we really paid attention to. this is usually an open trail for hikers.
This is a good view of the teeth of one of our fellow swimmers. He was eating a cracker I tossed him.
This guy decided the cracker was to far away (my toss was off) and I was close enough for him to have a second look at. However, I can move fairly fast to get back in the truck when necessary. "No Barbie Que lunch today"
this lagoon has several smaller gators in it. We counted at least 8 of them. This was on Avery Island and they apparently are accustomed to being fed. They all came when we got out of the truck and when we got back in the truck they all swam away.

Avery Island has a neat little park like area built buy McIlhenny,Tabasco sauce. he bought this Buddha as the plaque shows to save it and erected a building for it.
This bird is just one of the many on the island. He saved the snowy egret and established an area here for a sanctuary as well.
this is a low 9ft clearance covered road of wisteria.
one of the many fields of sugar cane that is grown in the area.
we are privileged too have some of the most beautiful sunsets

The Henderson Swamp - it was on both sides of the highway as far as you could see.
