Louisiana 2008
Lafayette and vicinity
Saturday March 23 through Friday March 28
My parents and I went to Louisiana for almost a week (one day traveling each way, plus four days there). Our "home base" in Louisiana was Lafayette, and we visited various points of interest in and around Lafayette. We also spent one day driving near the Gulf Coast toward (and from) Lake Charles.
The GPX files have been edited only to remove extraneous points and obvious errors.
