@Sherman22ish Probably around Lake Marapaus or Lake Pontchatrain. Manchac swamps have never been the same since the cypress logging of years ago.

Amazing stuff. Those were men. No radio or entertainment much. No escape from the heat. Alligators had to be a concern. I can't believe anyone would wear a suit out there. You know it was the hotter part of the year down there. Wild.
