Louisiana Bayou Hunt – Date Set!
April 18, 19, and 20, 2008 – Friday through Sunday
This will be a private land hunt on approximately 85 of my 90 acres. This includes two homesites from the early-to-mid 1900s, trash pits, woods and open fields, which were planted in cotton for 90 years. The homesites include my grandparents’ first home, which they occupied from 1916 until 1920, and another right on the bayou, which was used for the farm foreman and his family in the 1920s-50s.
In addition to this site, I will be securing others in the village which have some historical background. Have to get written permission first before I post them.
Camping is available on the land if you bring your own tents, etc. Porta-potties will be provided, of course. You may camp in the woods or the fields, your choice. For those wishing more modern conveniences, there are two hotels within 10 miles; many more if you wish to go 25 miles to the big city.
Temperatures average in the high 70s, with lows in the lower 50s, during April in north Louisiana. Early April showers are the norm, so the soil should be decent for digging.
Most meals will be served onsite, and I promise you won’t leave hungry.
Just wanting to get a feel for how many plan on coming before I go into more details (mainly because I haven’t worked them out yet.) If you’re interested, please post a response.
By the way, this hunt has also been posted under the Member Hunts section, not just for Louisianians.
Thanks,
Noodle

We'll think of you up there in the icebox while we're basking in the warm LA sunshine!
