Family Thanksgiving in Slidell, Louisiana Part 2

 


We went on a Swamp Tour one afternoon. Here is a picture of the tour boat going under the  U.S. 90 bridge.

We went with Cajun Encounters. They are just a few miles from Lauren's house.





It was pretty cool outside so many of the larger alligators weren't active. We did see a couple. I think this guy is resting on a decayed tree stump.

For reference, the boat captain said the best time to visit is from about mid-March for the next 3 or 4 weeks to maximize wildlife viewing.





These turtles were looking for some warmth.







These raccoons were definitely on the payroll. They showed up at the sound of the boat and were looking for a handout. Our boat captain had come prepared.



Another shot.








This is part of the Indian Village community. You can only reach the places via boat. Link below.

The U.S. 90 bridge is currently closed. It is scheduled to be rebuilt in a few years along with some sister bridges toward Mississippi.
