Florida Caverns State Park

This morning we drove across the Atchafalaya basin on the 4th longest bridge in the U.S. (18 miles) The pilings for the bridge were 124 feet long. They had to drive them through 93 feet of muck until they hit a sand layer. They drove them 6 feet into the sand and that left the roadway 25 feet above the swamp. The swamp is the largest in the US. Just past the bridge is the town of Grosse Tete. Today it would probably have been called Voluptuous Bosom. The pic is 'the blue hole' it's a 30 foot deep sink hole in this park. We will be home tomorrow.
