Hi Don, From my house to Avery Island, it took about 2.5 hours.
I live off LAPALCO Blvd, near Belle Chase Highway. I went down LAPALCO, to Hwy 90, and followed Hwy 90 to the Avery Island exit. Turn left, and 6 miles to the gate. I'd add an extra hour to the trip from Slidell. The birds are nesting now in the rookery. You wonder how so many of these large birds can fly in all directions, without a control tower.
2.5 hours, nice. The wife and I will be leaving Minnesota Sunday to visit Oak Alley and Evergreen plantations plus Avery Island. 17-20 hours one way depending on the route we take.
I enjoyed your photos. Thanks.
