Road Trip #648 - LA-23 South - Boothville/Venice - Tidewater Road
The final video in our LA-23 series, we reach the mouth of the Mississippi River, driving through Boothville and Venice, in Plaquemines Parish. We continue on past the end of LA-23 on Jump Basin Road and Tidewater Road to the very end (or as close as we could get to it due to flooding), where a sign stands declaring it the southernmost point in Louisiana--which is not quite correct. See the video for the explanation and some maps.

This brings back some great memories as a little girl. My Daddy S.A. Smith probably better known as Junior worked offshore for almost 30 years. He last worked for Pool Offshore. If any readers remember working for under him or just remember please respond. We eventually left and moved back to our Native Texas, but the memories are so alive. Sonja Smith Morris

The end of a beautiful stretch of road

@egordon9482 3 года назад

I've wondered many times when you'd make that drive. Glad to finally see it!

@504RoadTrips 3 года назад

Yep. So close to home but so far away.

@clarkgriswold6307 3 года назад

I know that drive like the back of my hand. Best video yet. Thank you.

Bro...I've always wanted to take LA 23 to the end, and you've done it for me. Thank you for this video. ♥️👍🏿

That nicely-lettered sign is gone. They did a replacement with a wide, fancy font that is practically illegible until you are 8 feet from it. No paved roads go farther.

Awesome video! Jesus saves

I noticed that y'all were at the very tip of the state. I see what you mean by the end of the road. Sounds like a Boyz 2 Men song.

Nowhere to go but upriver!

I enjoyed watching all the LA-23 series

@incredibleshrinkingfungus1731 3 года назад

Last two series have been really good.

What a great ride. Venice, Italy; Venice, California; and now Venice, Louisiana - all real close to water! Maybe too close for comfort at times! And, also, all three are at the end of the road!

@504RoadTrips 3 года назад

Just like Venice Italy, boats have been navigated through the streets of Venice, Louisiana!

Don't forget Venice Florida

This is great, I grew up in and around Buras. When a boy, I would walk to Fort Jackson with my friends spend the days playing soldier. Twice I lost my childhood homes to storms -- first Betsy and then Camille. Years later, as a young man, I would sometimes work the boats out of Venice. While some familiar sight occasionally jogs the memory, he area looks very, very different from what I remember. The last portion, after the right turn off LA-23, seems the least changed, and yes, the water is indeed usually high. There were once some unadorned deswellings across that canal on the right side of the road there as you head south. On some days, you would see the kids who lived there swimming in the canal; on other days, you would see alligators swimming there.

@504RoadTrips 3 года назад

I hadn’t been down there in 20+ years and other than the road through Port Sulphur, I didn’t recognize anything. The closure of Freeport McMoRan’s facility and Hurricane Katrina really changed things. Did you see the boys swimming in that canal before or after you saw the alligators? LOL. I don’t think there are any camps on the canal anymore.

@LarcheOsborne 3 года назад

Not sure which I saw first, but never both at the same time, For me, at least, alligator sightings were very rare: I almost never saw them. But those kids sure seemed to be in the water a lot. My baby brother was born in the Port Sulphur Hospital, and my best friend's father worked for the sulphur company. There was a ship in the river across from the plant, and it never ever moved. Every time someone drove me though there, I would check to see if it were still there, In between the Navy and college, I worked for Phillips 66. Their docks were behind the west levee, and I often worked in the nearby bays and bayou. I swear upon my soul that nine of every ten gnats upon the earth live in those marshes behind Port Sulphur. Many are as large as bats, and all of them bite like bulldogs! (I am not in the least little bit exaggerating!)

@DeaconG1959 3 года назад

Well done, my man! I've always wondered what that road end really looked like, thanks for the chance to see it! It's going to be a shame when nature finally has it's way with that area, I can't see LA expending the energy or money to keep LA 23 viable down the road (see TX 87 after Harvey), but it's still a beautiful place.

Making this drive tomorrow with my son to Tuna Town! Flying into NO. Staying at the marina in Venice. Got me really excited for our trip. Thank you

@504RoadTrips 2 года назад

Hope you enjoy it!

You could have made it - the water you see is six inches deep. Was there twice in July. First time at high tide and there was about a foot of water at a gravel berm next to Targa. Had to turn around practically within sight of the end. A week later, at LOW TIDE, I came back and reached the end (6 inches of water on both sides of the berm, none at the road end) - A TERN was pooping on the NEW 2019 sign, which is still incorrect - Port Fourchon near Grand Isle is slightly farther south, and they won't let you drive to the very end, where the big oil ships anchor.

@504RoadTrips 3 года назад

That’s about what I figured, but 6 inches is deep for a Civic.

I used to live there back in the mid 90s. Watched Comet Hale-Bopp from the levy in my back yard. It was awesome!

I live in deep south Lafourche LA. We need an ice age down here. The bugs are bad bad, and it's very hot. Hurricanes can either cause flooding or extreme wind gusts. Flooding is more of a permanent damage along with rising sea level. Pollution is no joke. Why people are still fishing with so much pollution?
