Drill down on a map and you&#8217;ll notice that the closest named-place is actually &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/bpAkAhKRJDG2mCYj6\">Cranky Corner<\/a>&#8221; which amused me to no end. Nonetheless, I suppose that it wouldn&#8217;t look so good in their promotional material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Global Wildlife Center\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gYvKTaAQYUU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They loaded everyone onto modified wagons pulled by a tractor for an hour-and-a-half ride through a Louisiana version of the African plains.

With proper timing, one can eat lunch at their brewpub in the quaint downtown area of Abita Springs, and then head over to the actual brewery a mile further along the road for a 2:00 tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Causeway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lake Pontchartrain Causeway\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IhZgl-tR21c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting to drive across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway &#8212; supposedly the world&#8217;s longest continuous bridge over water &#8212; for ages. In fact <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=73\">I whined about it during my last visit<\/a> to the area a couple of years ago. This time I drove it, all 24 miles (38 kilometres) straight across the lake from Mandeville on the north shore to Metarie on the outskirts of New Orleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s surprisingly less boring than one would imagine. Sure, it&#8217;s incredibly straight, but there are a number of elevation changes that allow ships to pass beneath it. Those add some some hilly variety to the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Belle Chasse Ferry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New Orleans is defined by the Mississippi River. I&#8217;ve been here many time so I didn&#8217;t stop to tour around the city. Certainly most &#8220;normal&#8221; tourists would want to include some time there during their itinerary. No, I had more important things to do. I wanted to take a ride on the Belle Chasse ferry (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/WYF2iERUc4NELxag6\">map<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Belle Chasse Ferry\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N66uW4nbuc4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The two portions of Plaquemines Parish split by the Mississippi River have no natural land route between them. The nearest bridge is all the way up in New Orleans, and that can become horribly inconvenient given the traffic of the city. The natural solution is a short ride across on a ferry lasting all of about five minutes. Loading and unloading actually took much longer than the ride itself. This was also my first visit to Plaquemines Parish so score one more on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/travel\/counties\/united-states-county-map.html\">County Counting list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll focus on some of the sites in Mississippi in my <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=3862\">next post<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We continue to tour along the Gulf.
