Y'all, these firemen running in full gear are some serious badasses - fully grateful for their service. And you, sir, in the cowboy hat and snakeskin boots? My own hat is off to you, my friend, as well. We didn't stop anywhere today, but often this route takes us to the Beer Garden where we drink our water leaded, with hops. I say it all the time, but I'll say it again - we are blessed to have access to the St Tammany Trace, and all the cool stops along the way. #neverforget

I recommend anyone in the area stopping in and looking around. They evidently play hosts to some local fairs.

Later, the fort was occupied by Confederate Forces during the Civil War. The fort was decommissioned and abandoned in 1871 following a fire four years previous. The ruins were further damaged during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Due to its dangerous and deteriorating condition, the fort is currently closed to the public. You can still get quite close to it by parking at the nearby harbor and walking down a pretty nasty little road that is cluttered with debris and litter. From there, you can see the brick walls and the magnitude of this impressive fort. Or you can take your chances and trespass but I don't recommend it.

We are blessed to have them as our property managers. Living at Nautical Point has been so peaceful. I love this community and I am so glad I chose to live here.

It was raining when we arrived but they had raincoats for everyone and as soon as the threat of getting hit by a bolt of lightening passed off we went. The boats here are covered so getting beat down by the sun is not too much of an issue. Like I said it was raining when we went so the covered top protected us from getting drenched as well. We saw some gators almost immediately and that was pretty cool. They are almost tame out here and come to the boat when called to get a treat. We also enjoyed seeing lots of egrets and various other birds, a few racoons and lots of spiders and dragonflies. Our tour guide was very knowable and made a few corny jokes that the tourists and kids loved. We learned a lot about the ecosystem of the area. The tour lasted about 2 hours and was a great way to spend an afternoon. I highly recommend this tour! Tip-sit in the middle if possible. That's the best view and if you're at the very front or very back you'll get swamp water on you for sure.

Having only been to this courthouse once before, I was glad to actually get a chance to walk around. There was nice artwork done by local artists on the walls. It must be nice to relax and stare at the art on the way to trial. The courthouse is three levels. Various parish offices utilize this building as well as criminal and civil courtrooms. Although the building is nice, there are a couple of issues. The main issue is the lack of available parking. When you report for jury duty at 9, there are very few places to park. I was told a parking garage is planned, but as of now, I was forced to park in a muddy field. The other issue is the lack of wi-fi. When serving jury duty, there is a lot of waiting around. Wi-fi would make the time go by. While I wouldn't recommend going to trial here, it is a good place to serve on jury duty.
