Our first stop was a much anticipated return trip to the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge in South Louisiana. Our friends Gene and Vicki accompanied us to Crawfish Haven RV park just outside of Pecan Island. It was a bit of a hole-in-the-wall kinda place but as is the custom, the people were friendly and the location was convenient.
While the shrimping and crabbing were not as abundant as we hoped, we certainly captured enough of both to feed us well.
On Sunday we went to the Gueydan Duck Festival, a hopping place for sure. I ate my first BBQ duck-covered boiled quail egg while Gene ran into some old friends-of-friends. After a quick side trip to their house, we ended up with a freezer full of frog legs and shrimp. Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!
The first three days went by very quick and we had to decide on our next destination. Leaving Crawfish Haven, we fully planned on going to Palmetto Island State Park which was just a short hour away, but as we're wont to do, our plans went awry about halfway there.
