Off LaHwy 30, is the small town of St. Gabrial. It has little post office there. The town hardware store is one of the best I have ever seen. As of Tuesday, the town has a new morgue capable of handling 8000 bodies. The forensic team stationed there includes many of the same people brought in after 9/11. Six miles up Hwy 30 is the LSU campus.

Armed army troops are stationed at the Box (baseball stadium). There are vehicles of every kind everywhere: military trucks, 18 wheelers, rescue trucks (saw one from Lake Zurich, IL),busses, dump trucks, and New Orleans cars (easily identified by all of the dents).
