We were delighted to finally take advantage of the Harvest Host program. We signed up in March 2021. In hindsight, that was way too premature. We really needed some time to get used to life in this large coach before we were comfortable staying in places that were not typical campgrounds.

All of the images that follow were captured during the tour. It was unseasonably cool that day, so we didn’t see any alligators. But it was still a beautiful place to see.
That pile of leaves in the middle of the frame is an alligator nest.
I don’t think I will ever get tired of seeing Cypress trees draped in Spanish Moss. It was a very nice stop on our way to Texas.

Nice pics. Despite many visits to Louisiana, we have yet to take a Swamp tour. We have done one in South Georgia’s Okefenokee years ago.
I toured the Okeefenokee last year and really enjoyed it. The swamp we toured in LA was not as old, so the water wasn’t as black, but it seemed like there was a lot more Spanish moss or the moss was thicker. I really like swamps.
I love the second to last photo!
Thanks, Shan. That’s my favorite, too. It shows depth and, to me, really feels like a tunnel.
