Travels from Baton Rouge and points north to Fourchon and/or Grand Isle are so much easier and quicker these days.
Once upon a time, this trip meant getting across the Mississippi River somehow, then getting to LA 308 (somehow), then getting to Golden Meadow where you could cross Bayou Lafourche, then getting on LA 1 to this end-of-our-world destination. Four hours, if you were lucky.
Today, with bridges and four-lane roads, it’s a little more than half that time. Lucky us, right?…
