I still remember the first time I drove on Hwy. 90 from Florida to Texas in 1970. For maybe 25 miles there was nothing but swamp and rivers. One bridge after another until I finally came to the Huey Long Bridge.
The Atchafalaya must be the biggest swamp in the world.
By the way, do you know the difference between a Texan and a jackass? The Sabine River.
