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 look for a magnetic along the side of the road. Don't forget to grab the game code! Bring a pen to log your find.

The Island Road was constructed in 1953 through marshland with only obtainable by boat. As time went by, the marshland began to erode and turned into open water making the island very vulnerable.  During high winds,  the road frequently became sumberged by water and impassable to vehicles.  Because of the harsh weather conditions the road eventually went from a double lane to a single lane.  However, in 2011 the roads was restored and repaired.  Along the road, you will see locals hoping to catch a big one and is the filming location of Beast of the Southern Wild. Take a drive to experience and view the beauty of this waterways.
