While shooting around town in the hopes of “getting my tourist on” I went out to Chalmette State Park. It’s the site of the Battle of New Orleans. Here’s a little tip from me to you. Before you go anywhere in New Orleans call and make sure they’re open. If you can’t get through ask someone about it.
When I got to the park it was in fact closed. It wasn’t closed in the sense of “Our office hours are 9 to 5 Monday through Saturday”. It was closed in the sense of it just being a big flat field that was mostly wiped out.
So anyway, lesson learned.
