Wow, ya'll stay way out there in Kenner. Thats a nice little ride down to 'da parish (St. Bernard). That's nice that they dont charge ya'll to stay. I think that is so wrong to do. You guys come down here and volunteer to do some really hard and dirty work, there is no way you should have to pay to stay. I know that at Camp Hope the volunteers are charged 100 bucks a week to stay there. The day i heard about that, i started making donations every month and still do. My neighbor two doors down has bbq's at his house for the volunteers at Camp Hope once a month. His way of saying thank you.

I know right where ya talkin about. That is actually in Orleans Parish. I shop at that Lowe's all the time cause its the closest to home.

You have to go over the Claiborne Bridge and through the 9th ward then you go right through the middle of Jackson Barracks. When you pass the barracks your in St Bernard. And St. Bernard goes all the way down to the Gulf on the east side of the river. St Bernard is mostly marshes and bayous. The further down the road ya go the more you see. Then the road ends at the End of the World boat launch. Further than that, its boats only for transportation.

Yes you answered my question perfectly. Its alright to cry, its pretty contagious down here.

Gracey, thank you
