So a 50gallon drum of fuel and tools to change oil is needed lol

^^^pahaha

It's 25 miles across as the crow flies. Add another 10 miles for the actual path across. So I'm guessing it's a 35 or so mile run. If we cruise non stop at 20 mph it won't take long at all, but we won't. So this can be done in a day, easily. If we have a couple of putt putts with us it will slow us down by half. Locks will add another hour at least.

If love to make this ride! It's gonna be a long one tho.

This would be a legit ride. If it happens to work out, we could possibly turn this into a ride we do once a year every spring.

You talking about putting down in plaquemine, crossing locks at bayou sorrel, atchafalaya to krotz springs?

That's roughly an 80 mi run. Put down at Sorrel and it's roughly 65. Go to www.daftlogic.com and you can measure your route.

Might just start at Bayou Sorel. That would eliminate the locks.

Yea fuck 80miles

65 miles is still pretty far. Might would possibly be better if we started on a Friday evening if at all possible (that's if we planned on camping out)

Gdamn why you wanna go so damn long?

Haha. I dunno. I'm single with no kids so it don't make a different how long we're gone lol

I fucked up. Not sure what his route was. It can be done at either 50 or 65. Still a haul.

Yeh.... sounded good but how many would show up? Im game!

I choose the 50 mile run, more time for stops and to screw off lol

Still in planning stage. We could start at Bayou Sorel and end at Henderson, but some of the prettiest spots are between Henderson and Port Barre. Even at 60 miles it would only take half a day at most if we cruised an average of 20 mph. That's 3 hours non stop. How many gallons an hour would you figure a 35 would burn?

Ok. So next question. Where would there be a place to camp if we made it a two day trip

Sounds good. If you get drunk enough it don't matter where we stay lol.

That^ Im down just keep the plannin going lol

I don't care if it's just 4 or 5 of us, but it would nice if 20 or so made the trip with us. It would be especially nice for out of towners who have never experienced the Atchafalaya Basin.

I'll throw an air mattress in the bottom of boat with mosquito net over me...

^^^. Agreed! Well no one else I'm friends with has a MM. Actually I'm the first one to get one, lol. Just got it actually so it would be good to put a couple ( a lot) of hours on her

Pintail, whatd u get?

36PD with power trim and hydraulic reverse on a Mad Man Custom 19x48

Oh yeh, i saw that! Cool deal!

if we do this, we could turn this into something big over the next few years.
so if we camp out, would everyone rather just do something simple for dinner, like fend for yourselves with samwhiches, or everyone chip in , like a pot luck type of thing, and we grill or fry fish or cook a big gravey or something

Yea I don't duck hunt a lot this year so I can contribute ducks. I can contribute deer. See this is another problem. We have to include time to cook something like this bc y'all know if you want a good brown gravey done right it has to be cook for hours

Haha, well everyone cooks differently. I won't be complaining. I could do a big pot of southern style green beans and or southern style smothered potatoes as sides. Shit now I'm ready to go just for the food
