My dad grew up in Buras&we lived there when I was a kid.Also lived in Belle Chasse.

Love the family history.

Great history lesson, great ride, soothing music and voice. God bless you and thank you.

Nice ride through Buras LA

My parents birthplace, the location my families shipyard and oyster biz. I used to love going to the fort! I know a fair amount of the towns history and still have relatives there. Brings back memories of visits to grandparents and Dymond island. A lot of Croatians including my familial names all ending in “ich”. We went after Katrina. In the field near the high school was where the contents of the library settled after the storm…there were just books and files of card catalogs strewn everywhere. I picked up the first two books i saw. A muddy water damaged dictionary. Curious I read the words on the pages of the now permanently open book. They included “warning’, “wasteland”, “water’” and “weakness”. The second book wasn’t open but had no cover. It’s title page read “The Wave”. Very eerie.

Beautiful. Thanks 🤗😊

@ 3:35 To quote a famous line from Friends, "that's a lot of information to get all at once."

I love how th roads in Louisiana Mississippi and Tennessee are brown it blends in with nature

Informative as always!

The beginning part of the video was like a story. Maybe the festival will happen in 2021.

Enjoy learning about Buras. Keep seeing the town on the map and it's close proximity to Mexico via sea. The only issue here is that there is not much information relating to the town.

I'm from buras and my family carries the buras last name. Yes the original name Is burat

4:29 Odd that boat being there. I saw one down in Dulac that actually sank into the ground over a period of years.

We took Hwy 11 on the way back, so we saw a bit more of it then.

Where on this trip did you cross the river?

Nowhere. We were on the west bank of the river the entire time.

Hwy 23 (and sometimes Hwy 11 River Rd) continues down the west bank of the river headed south from New Orleans, where the GNO/Crescent City bridge pair are the last on the river. There are two ferries that cross hourly in Plaquemines Parish, both well north, and there are no roads on the east bank south of Pointe a la Hache. Just before the start of the video, he crossed the Empire Bridge over the Dollut Canal, which lets smaller vessels go from the river to the channels leading west into the Gulf.
