Geocache Description:

This is yet another fun geocache on the official Houma Travel GeoTour. Travel less than an hour southwest of New Orleans and enter Louisiana’s Bayou Country – Houma!

Bordered by the bountiful Gulf of Mexico, surrounded by bayous and shaded by an endless canopy of moss-draped cypress trees. In Houma, you will find a rich and rare blend of nature that allows for an unimaginable mix of wildlife, found only in a few places on earth. Download your passport to keep track of your progress. Locate 20 or more caches to earn the official geocoin (while supplies last).

Enjoy this unique location, and the noble work that they do. Look for a small container hidden in a tree. Don't forget to grab the game code! Bring a pen to log your find.

Surrounded by the winding bayous of southern Terrebonne Parish, TARC sits upon over twenty acres of land. Since 1962, this facility provides the opportunity for jobs/training for adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. For example, good work is being done in the Cajun Confections Bakery and gift shop.

TARC's grounds was a very important factor during the Vietnam War, some of the buildings were part of the troop's base housing. In addition, there is a T33 Jet in front of TARC's property which was flown in the mid or late 50's. The aircraft remains on the USAF inventory by the model/serial numbers and belongs to the Air Force. Please seal the container tightly and return to it's original location. DO NOT ENTER TARC'S GROUNDS - CACHE IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE GATE ALONG THE FENCE LINE!
