thats cool, love their food

That's over in Jug's part of the state. Been around over there some, and it is a different world way out in there. Talked with an old man who was raised in a town out in the Basin that is no longer there. Their school house was a houseboat. Talked with him for about 2 hours. Had some really neat stories.

Thanks
Sure make me hungry

I'm born, raised , and live in the heart of the Atchafalaya Basin area. Jug, Hog Bit, myself and a few others on here also live here. I can't speak for the others, but if any of y'all are over this way and would like to see the Atchafalaya Basin / Lake Verrett area up close and personal, just give me a holler and we will see about making it happen.

my wife wants to go, shes fluent in french and loves the area. i been through there some growin up. love a bowl of jambalaya

I may take you up on that , always wanted to go , had some family way back come from down deep in the swamp an always wanted to go check it out I forget what area they were from I will ask my dad an see

jimco , i may bring the wife next summer and look you up . she is crazy about seeing gaters up close and personal .

and the next time you come up this way gimme a holler and we'll show you some tn hospitality .

jimco same goes here. i can show you the great lakes. some of the best walleye fishing around. ive already talked to the wife and shes all for seeing that country

They have a few commercial swamp tours scattered about but most take 20 or 30 people at a time in a tour boat on short trips, real touristy type stuff. You have to get with a local to  take you out in the swamps and bayous to really enjoy it's beauty. Most Cajun folks will gladly take you out in a boat for a personal tour as we are proud of our heritage and love to share it with others.   

I feel like we hijacked Reuben's thread.                           

Jimco it was only a matter of time before he got over on mt. Curs anyway

Man...you blew the cover on the setup...  ;D

I'm originally from FL born and raised, but for the past 3 1/2yrs I've been livin in Cajun Country and there's nothing like it....
