Dedicated to: My Mom, for all those nights line dancing to this song together.

Ok, sometimes it seems I have a soundtrack playing in my mind no matter where I am at. So while driving home to Texas though Louisiana, I can hear this song. Of course it is
Rodney Crowell's “Stars on the Water."


“Down in Louisiana , bayous by and by
Pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in

Chorus:
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
It's like stars on the water, let it rain….


Directions: This Microbox is located at the Atchafalaya Welcome Center. The Atchafalaya Welcome Center is located on I-10 between Baton Rouge and Lafayette. I believe the exit is 121. Just look for the sign for the Center on I-10. This is a really cool place to stop, plus there is restrooms, which are hard to find in the Atchafalaya Basin. The Center is beautiful, loaded with info, maps and even a small museum with a theater. Also a great place to picnic, too, with lots of gazebos.


Clues: From inside the Center, walk out the back doors to the small tall grass pond. Find the second alligator (sorry, not real). It will be the alligator closest to a gazebo. The microbox is under the beginning of the gator’s tale. Make sure you replace the box well so no weed eaters eat it.


Happy Hunting!
