I have pictures of some of my trips, including a paid one there in my blog. We spend time at Lake Fosse Point State Park, which is across the street from the levee, but within the natural swamp.

There is free coffee - as there as at all Louisiana rest centers but also a mini museum on the Cajun culture and lots of CC Lockwod's pictures. Even a mini-movie. AND I think you night even have been able to stay there - there is a truck rest area.

No need to look through viewfinders & no need to concentrate on what your shooting. Just point the camera in the general direction you see or saw something & shoot away. Fun part is later cropping what you saw out of all the blather surrounding it. The more shooting you do that way the more comfortable you will be with it. Far safer than dashboard touch screens or phone stuff that is going on nowadays. Good for you in giving it a try:)) Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-11017921909932615402013-04-19T13:30:11.920-05:002013-04-19T13:30:11.920-05:00yay! please go on a swamp tour and take lots of pi...yay! please go on a swamp tour and take lots of pictures!

We try to keep it under 300 miles and prefer closer to 200 miles in a day.
