first timer headed your way

[30A Skunkape]

We have been making the trip from Shreveport for years. On the drive, let me give you this advice, on the way down, we like to go I-20 through Jackson, then down through Hattiesburg, Mobile, etc. On the way back, however, we stay on I-10 to Baton Rouge (our tradition is to eat lunch at Georges, an LSU joint), then head back north on I-49. The drive on I-49 is so easy, virtually no traffic.

BUT! Do you hop off I-10 at Port Allen to take 190 to I-49 or take I-10 the whole way from BR to Lafayette? HWY 190 is actually quicker as you hit 49 at Opelousas. You also avoid the God forsaken elevated Atchafalaya Spillway Death Race! Used to dig fried anything po-boys and cheese fries at Georges. Yum.

Update after being here for a few days -

1. Hooked up with Jimbo Bishop to do a little afternoon fishing. He and his first mate Aaron were both awesome. Picked me up on the beach right in front of the house. We landed a big ol' Cobia and they were as excited as I was! It was great and when I come back I will 100% for sure hook up with him again.

2. The traffic was as expected. Big back up when 98 dropped to one lane. Pretty slow through Mobile. 331 was a mess and we cut through Freeport. Thanks for the advice Rob!

3. So far we've only gone to the Old Florida Fish House and we loved it. Dave was our server and he was great. We're going to Cafe 30a tonight.

I will be back with more later. I love this place!

Glad you love it! So do we.
