I'm a gun toting redneck!! LEO's are scared of me!!! I'm down for a cruise. We have some rivers and bayous to cruise around down in P'ville and Livingston or we could do a Mississippi river road run, start or end at the Pastime. We could run way down the river road and end up at Hymmels (great hole in the wall place)by the sunshine bridge. Willing to help, just let me know.

Great! Just joking about the police. That would be very cool if you can arrange it. Just kicking around some ideas. How many people have cruised thru St Francisville or driven across the new bridge across the Mississippi. Any good places to take photos around the bridge ? Suppose to be a very cool bridge.

I've never been there, but i'm down for it.

I was talking with Paul last night about it and I totally forgot that LSU Football and how it may hurt our chances of meeting near campus.

Butttttt... Season starts Sept 9th, so we are still good for that date!

KaienZ34

Anyone know what condition is River Road in? Is it in good shape that we can drive it and enjoy it without getting jarred and beat up on bumps and pot holes? Is it smooth top? I am thinking we start at the USS Kidd by the River in BR for an initial Meeting point at 10am, then drive River Road (possibly, if it is in good shape) and enjoy some windy curvy roadway with some good scenery - it looks like there are a lot of Plantation Homes along the way that we can stop at and possibly take some awesome pictures of our 370's.

If anyone knows where the new bridge that Harold (Bucketman) mentioned in the thread above and what condition it is in, let us know. Also, I have taken the drive to The Myrtles in St. Francisville (a haunted plantation home) with the Louisiana Z Club a few years back when I still had my 300ZXTT - very smooth curvy windy road about an hour some from BR. So we got some options here, but we need information from you locals so we can make a good decision... We Need Input!

I'm down for a ride into the country and plantation area ect, it would be nice to get out of the city for a change. I can tell you that the river road near LSU is terrible and you might bend a rim driving on it. I went down it a week or so ago and it was almost unbearable.

I think a meeting place a little closer to the interstate might be better Paul, maybe something off I-10 for everyone to meet at is a good idea. Getting to the battleship isn't that simple if you aren't familiar with the area, not to mention there aren't many places to part. (unless it's on the street)
