its kinda like 3127 thru the River Parishes. nobody remembers its there. you get it to yourself. shhhheeeeewwwwwwwwwwww! --thats me driving down 3127!

So you like the drive on the westbank. this time of year you need to watch out for sugarcane trucks on that route going to the mill.

Oh THAT, yes... Grand Pkwy --99--- but geez its gonna be like going around the Arctic Circle. I think you're just fine taking BW 8-- if you come in from I-10-- take S. Belt to 225/ if you come from 290-- take N. Belt. Its not bad.

Its up and running on the west, and almost done to the east, but connecting thru 146 aint happening. It took my lifetime for them to finish BW 8.

LOL. Its sugar harvest season! All the fires
and dried cane all over the road, but those trucks are easy to pass. My wife & I love driving through the River Parishes, much more scenery, probably
not the short cut, but definitely the stress-free route. One time we got held up by a drawbridge-- actually, I was amused.

Hey yall, I'm probably out for the weekend. Keep the thread going, and yall
get together if you can---Lets make it a party Monday Night! Those of you getting out might consider putting up "yourself" avatars, so you can be recognized at your hangout. Get Your Fan On & Represent!
