MWC Region 4
Brouhaha on the Bayou

the battle site is at Wade's Pond
962 Magnolia Ridge Road
Boutte, LA


Directions:

From I-10:
    Take I-10 to the West side of New Orleans. Take the 310 exit to Boutte/Houma. You will go over the Mississippi river and about 5 more mile to the very end. (a total of about 10-12 miles). Stay to the right. At the light you will make a left on Highway 90. The first light will be green continuously, and the second light you will make a right. There's a Domino pizza on the right. Go about 3/4 of a mile and make the only right. It will say highway 633 or Magnolia Ridge Road. I'm about 2.6 miles down on the right hand side. DO NOT TURN INTO MY DRIVE WAY. I will put out a trash can to tell you to keep going. There will be a 10' wide 8' long bridge that will have a large red arrow pointing it out. go up the pond and make a left at the pond. There will be taped off area to drive on and on the other side there is a walkway that goes around the entire pond. They will be able to pull pond side and park there. I will have about 15 small trees marked with red tape so they don't trip or park on them. They are fast grow tress and I hope in about 5 years they can pit under them.
