Second for French Market Express. Load up on the gingerbread men! They are fantastic!

How is the towing with the 3.5? Nothing crazy, occasional side by side or bay boat. Notice any major issues or lack of power when towing?
We went this summer. Did the FoxFire Adventure park for zipline. Was fantastic. If you did zipline, then you could take an easy hike to a waterfall and over a rope bridge. Also did the Forbidden Caves tour.
Kinda touristy, but the Smoky Mountain Knife Works store was cool. Any and every kind of knife, sword, or axe you can imagine from cooking tools to movie prop style. But has a cool collection of ancient artifacts, dinosaur bones, Native American to Civil War artifacts and even WWI and WWII items to buy. Not a bad way to kill a morning or afternoon.

Close to LSU on Burbank, highly recommend C and R. On Siegen near Perkins, can't beat K and M Auto. Both have been extremely honest and done high quality work for a while. Can't go wrong with either.

Burbank and College intersection has tons of options. Check out Cheeba Hut for good hot sandwiches. Haven't been in a while, but Am Mart on Nicholson had good poboys and pitas.
re: Recs for BR mechanic who can do pre purchase inspection?

Two I have personally used and recommend are C and R Auto on Burbank and K and M on Siegen. Both have been very honest and trustworthy. Highly recommend both. Coworkers use K and M as well and like them.
Don’t think they are open on Saturday though.

Call Searchers in Prairieville. Phillip knows any and every thing about jeeps. Very good people.

Lake Catherine State Park has some nice hikes and a waterfall. Definitely see Garvan Gardens. We did a tubing trip on Caddo River. Superior Bathhouse Brewery was very good food and beer.
If you want to book spa at the hot springs, book early, they filled up fast when we were there.

re: New plot of marsh, how to develop/manage?

Long term need to develop a plan to control woody encroachment. Usually combination of burning or drone spraying.
Love Jack Ingram.

Have had great service at C and R Auto on Burbank and K and M Auto on Siegen. Both were very honest and fixed problems. Highly recommend both.
re: Recommendations for Exumas or Eleutheria vacation spots for family of 4 with adult kids
Posted by bourbon on 6/23/26 at 10:32 am to tigerpimpbot
We stayed at the Cornerwall House with Squires Estate in Governors Harbour. Very nice place. Even helped us with bringing an air compressor for low tire on the rental van. Eleuthera is not very developed so never had a large crowd and had several beaches all to ourselves. Had a nice restaurant and breakfast place and grocery store within walking distance. Buccaneer Club was very good. Did French Leave beach, Twin Coves beach and did an excursion around Turtle Beach. Disney has recently built a marina on the southern end of the island, but wasn't completed when we went, so not sure how that has affected island. Very laid back trip and never felt unsafe.
re: Legit Toyota dealers in Louisiana
Posted by bourbon on 6/11/26 at 8:11 am to Reubaltaich
Call Toyota of Brookhaven in Mississippi. Had very good experience with them. Small town dealer. No sales gimmicks or tricks. Easy to deal with.
The Zoo is worth checking out if you have down time. They have parts of Rosenblatt there with home plate and some seats and foul poles in parking lot. The old part of downtown Omaha is very nice with lot of shopping and restaurants.

Any luck? Always enjoy this thread. Need to come join you one day, buddy has a camp on False River now.
Call either K and M auto on siegen or C and R on Burbank. K and M has worked on our Acura RDX.

Call clay at Prairie Plains. Have one of their dogs and hunted over several. Great dogs, but better people. They only deal with British labs.

Not in Baton Rouge, but if you are across the river for work or anything, the Iberville Parish Firing Range near Plaquemine also has 20, 50, and 70 yard bow range with an elevated shooting tower. Have used the firing range a few times and it is excellent.
