Our house is not in any danger, but the surrounding towns and parishes have had a lot of damage. I hope these links work. You may have to cut and paste the link. https://www.facebook.com/Snowbirdbob/videos/555405234621618/?fref=nf https://www.faceb...

My daughter and grandsons are being evacuated now. It is so hard to be so far away. Please pray for everyone in this mess.

Prayers for all of the people who are affected by the rain and flooding.

Hello! Just wanted you all to know that we are high and dry in all of this devastating flooding. I am hoping the same is true for the rest of you. Take care, MC ;-)

I'm so very glad to hear that. :)

Glad you are safe. So, no flooding in your area?

BlackBerrypatch here, I'm just seeing this as we are preparing to move in 4 months. Our home flooded and we lost everything. The flood was something here in Central, Louisiana. We are well, but displaced and extremely tired. We found a place to rent f...

I'm so sorry for all your soggy troubles. We were lucky to escape flood damage. Two more miles further down the road and we'd have been in a big mess. We hate to see you go, Blackberry Patch, but wish you the best and a happy life in the west. Ma...

I am certain that our paths will cross again. Where are you now? It sounds like you are close to southern Louisiana? C

I'm in the same place. North Louisiana about 30 miles from the Arkansas border. Let me know if you come this way. There are several new, good letter boxes.

I will. When my husband leaves for Utah I'll be here with my two kids, we may make a few trips before we leave the state.

I've been off the grid for a while. I'd like to see you before you move, if that's possible. If you still have my other contact info, get in touch with me. I've lost most of my contacts in a computer mess. So sorry to hear that you all flooded. We st...

I will try to call soon. *hug*

We're visiting Louisiana this coming weekend on a very short trip to the Gulf. I plan to plant as many letterboxes along the way as my family will tolerate. I'll feel very lucky if that # equals three, which is also the number I've carved specifically...

Hopefully near LaPlace, as werk sometimes takes us there... I should have some ready to go for there anyway, so shame on me. LB

Hey, y'all! I jumped on board with letterboxing several years ago. I loved it and planned on sticking with it for the long term. But life. Anywho, I have picked up my little ladybug stamp and I'm back on the trail. A shout out to Acorns4u, for helping...

Welcome back! :-)

Had I know you were there we could have met up to exchange. Excited that plan to plant some in the area. I will definitely look for them next time I get down there. Welcome back to our wonderful obsession.

Thank you! I'm very excited to be back.

My noxer (but indulgent) hubby and I will be visiting New Orleans next week for just a few days. I would love suggestions on boxes as well as restaurants, bars, tours, etc. Looking forward to visiting such an intriguing city! Mama Stork Cincinnati OH

I visited New Orleans last year and did a little boxing while there. If you're up for some sightseeing while boxing, I would recommend Six Feet Above and Southern Sweets in the Garden District. Both fun plants! I took the street car down to the Garden...

Off the beaten path, I suggest Jacques Imo's (http://jacques-imos.com/). Drago's in Metarie is quite good as well. And maybe there is a Gumbo Nightmare nearby... LB

I second the Jacques-Imos suggestion. It’s my favorite restaurant in Nola (and we lived there for five years.)

Drago's -- especially the oyster bar -- is a favorite stop of ours. Red Fish Grill, Deanie's, and Mr. B's Bistro are also wonderful. ~MC

The double chocolate bread pudding at Red Fish Grill (first block of Bourbon off Canal) is a MUST. My husband and I get it once a year. If you are interested in learning about Mardi Gras at all, a visit to Mardi Gras World is fun and informative (an...

Thanks--we are actually staying in the Garden District, so that makes it easy!

Thank you all--will add your suggestions to my list. Trying to have options without overplanning; a true challenge for me. Can't wait to explore!

Can't wait to explore! When will y'all be in NOLA? The Crabby Ol' Man and I are currently here. I've been here since the first of Nov, on a 13 week assignment but he only just got here a few days ago so we haven't had a chance to get out and box or exp...

2CoolCats and I will also be there next week. I've made note of the suggestions.

My daughter (also a 'boxer) has an opportunity to spend the summer doing undergrad sciency-stuff at the University of New Orleans. I may be visiting to help her get "settled in" (read: I've never been to NOLA so this is a great opportunity to have som...
