daimyo 0 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Looks good and while I said Louisiana, I should have stated within 4 hour travel range from Baton Rouge, we usually do the weekend trips leaving Friday evening around 6pm, coming home on Sundays are no problem, thanks. Edited January 21, 2018 by daimyo 4 hour travel range period, not just louisiana Link to post Share on other sites

LeCastor 641 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @daimyo, I came up through Scouting in the New Orleans Area Council (now Southeast Louisiana Council), and we often camped in Mississippi or the Florida/Alabama Gulf Coast. But I think one of the most memorable trips my Troop took was to the Tuxachanie Trail. We parked the cars at a trailhead and backpacked into the woods, camped two nights on the trail, and then hiked back to the cars. I remember using just a visqueen tarp as a shelter, all rolled up in it like a cocoon. When I woke up my Patrol mates were laughing at me because my sweatshirt hood, which was fastened tight around my face, had a think coating of ice from my breath. BTW, I also camped at Tickfaw SP one time. It wasn't my favorite, so I can see why you'd want to go somewhere else. Our Troop also frequented Bogue Chitto SP. Both @Eagle94-A1 and I share a fondness for Salmen Scout Reservation in MS, as we both went there as youth. Link to post Share on other sites
