I once stopped by Madisonville, La. on a whirlwind cross-country
tour.  Find it on your map.  right where Mulberry St. which is rt 22
crosses the river, on Water St. there is a place to eat.  I believe it is
River Cottage Food and Spirits.  It is a nice looking old house type of
place with a  big porch in front.  I had a very good po-boy there, but I am
no expert in po-boys.  I also drove through the campground at Fontainebleau
State park nearby there and it looked like very nice setting.  Watch out
for gators though.  I didn't check out the showers or facilities.  I also
drove down some tiny roads to the edge of Lake Ponchartrain.  Its a bizarre
landscape.  Feels like you are under water there is so much water
everywhere.  I couldn't believe I was on solid ground, felt like I would
just sink in and disappear.
