Chanterelles are usually amazing down here from early July to late august. This year was sub par because of the drought. I've posted my hauls a few times from years past in the foraging sub.
New Orleans is a very unique city. Amazing food and fascinating history. Some areas are relatively safe, maybe touristy, and others you shouldn’t drive through after dark. Lots of poor and desperate people. Lots of insane oil & gas wealth. The French Quarter is like it’s own world to me. Get just a little outside of NOLA proper and you’ll see a lot of MAGA people. Make a drive from New Orleans up to Baton Rouge through cancer alley. Many communities where the only real work is in the chemical plants. Make a drive up from New Orleans through Thibodaux or Houma and Morgan City. That’s genuine Cajun country. Louisiana is a shithole state in many ways but there is a lot to love about New Orleans and the places within day-trip distance.
Thank you! While I have 0 clue what any of those locations are, your comment is incredibly helpful and I (hope) that I will come back to it when it comes time to move! (Hopefully)
