Noodles Grandiose Adventures! - Bumming Around Baton Rouge Louisiana

Friday - Today Noodles is chowing down on tacos from the Jack in the Box drive thru. Noodles says, "Best cheap munchies on the planet. There is something magical about these fried tacos. I think they put something addictive in em. Who cares! As long as they are still legal I'll still be eating them."

Tuesday - Today Noodles is reflecting on American history inside a Revolutionary War cannon at the Louisiana State Capitol. Noodles says, "This cannon was used in the Battle of Baton Rouge in September 1779. It's made of iron and being inside it is like being inside an Easy Bake Oven. It's hot and I though I smelled something cooking ... and it was me!"

Monday - Today Noodles is trying not to pass out from heat stroke in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Noodles says, "It's 93 degrees but the heat index is 117! It's hot enough to boil alligators in the Mississippi River homies!"

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead. The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it.

I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately. Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
