      The haz mat refers to commercial loads, known as a “reportable quantity”. So, usually tunnels are restricted to fuel trucks, tankers filled with flammable materials. Your little propane tank is not what they are concerned about.

    Carolyn, I think you are a wonderful writer/story teller. That is why I keep coming back to watch you.
    That and your honesty, you're a genuine person. It doesn't matter if I agree with you all the time. You express yourself without tramping on others' toes.

    I know you can't do 54-minute videos on a regular basis, but I just want you to know how much I enjoyed this one. I hated to see it end. I especially liked the simple cooking shots interspersed with nature scenes. Two more years for me, and I can be on the road as well. Thank you for your channel! 😊

    Yes, please! More like this! I lovelovelove the sound of rain; thunder is a bonus. It's like a lullaby to me. And the peepers. Oh, how I miss the east coast! Your writing instructor gave you good advice, but whoever taught you video/photography was a genius. Thank you so much for bringing us along.

    According to the Live Oak Society the oldest southern live oak is believed to be the Seven Sisters Oak located in Mandeville, Louisiana, with an estimated age of between 500-1000 years.

    "Skeeters" are the state bird. I love that state. Took my boys camping there. Dont remember what campground, but it was family-run, and people were SO nice. Little tip for the state bird: Citronella candles. Works GREAT. We camped in a tent. Boys LOVED IT!!

If we had that much rain here in Southern California, that would be enough rain for a year, and it would flood! I’m looking forward to going back and looking at all the videos I missed! Looks like you and Sadie are having a great trip! Thanks!

    A trick I learned, when tent camping in downpour rain, is to puts candles in a deep pot and let it burn all night… no matter how hot it is, because the flame will dry up the humidity and it will feel more comfortable.💜

    I agree with the other comments, you found a peaceful spot to stay with so much nature around you. Just glad you didn't get flooded out during the storm. I wanted to mention something else about your video and that is that I love how you move the camera slowly, letting us really enjoy the scenic beauty and not feeling like you are in a hurry to finish. Also I have a vertigo problem that can kick in just from someone moving the camera too quickly but I had no problem with yours. I love the Live Oak trees too. I first "met" them when I lived in beautiful Austin, TX. for a year and a half.

    Ahhh, Louisiana. I enjoyed my time there. Very atmospheric, steeped in history with a haunting aura.
    The beautiful Spanish moss hanging from the trees, the rain, the hurricanes and hurricane parties, the taping of windows in preparation for hurricanes, and I met some very interesting and engaging people.
    Cajuns living across a swamp, making boudin sausage and their warm hospitality, but they don't accept just anyone into their very private homes, only accessible via a pirot (flat boat). People speaking English with a charming patois, a Louisiana accent. The older people speaking French, a friend with a very old upstairs apartment in the French Quarter, with a balcony made of beautiful wrought iron. Watching the "crews" go by with a bird's eye view from the apartment during Mardi Gras.
    The incredible jazz cafes, the incomparable Cajun cuisine, and the swamp. Visiting the old, preserved plantations that are now B&Bs.
    The Cafe Du Monde at 7:30 am, parking at the Farmer's Market so you'd be able to find a parking space, the Cafe Du Monde chicory coffee, the wonderful beneits (sp?), ie, donuts, the best I've ever had.
    The oyster po-boy sandwiches which became my favorite food.
    The beautiful Quarter, taking you back to the time when it was an important cultural and trading center of America.
    Interestingly, I really felt at home there.
    Ahhh, Beautiful Louisiana. I'll always love you and your unique culture and beautiful people.
    It truly is like being in a different country.

    This one brings back a lot of fond Louisiana memories. We bought our sailboat in Florida in 1999 and spent several months taking her back to Texas along the Intracoastal Waterway. We spent a long time in Louisiana, including anchoring overnight in several bayous and close to the Barataria Waterway (including an anchorage next to a cemetery!). An epic adventure. I've never seen so many kinds of commerical large boats, tugs, barges, locks, bridges, and seaplanes. So glad you enjoyed your adventures in the bayou areas! Louisiana waterways are definitely a bucket list item.
