Retrieve It from a Cache 2/14/2024 pinkmonkey2 retrieved it from Chiefs I-10 Travel Bug Hotel Louisiana   Visit Log

I don't normally pick up just a laminated sheet. I actually thought this one was part of the tag that was in the bag with it. I am glad I picked it up though. Last August I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully it was minor- I only had to have a lumpectomy and radiation.
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are next. I could leave it in one of those three states which would be closer to where it wants to go, or I could take it north to Minnesota.

Visited 1/13/2024 Skywalker1640 took it to Masonic Cemetery No. 2 Louisiana - 2.66 miles  Visit Log

New Orleans is at or below sea level, resulting in a high water table in the soil. If a body or coffin is placed in an in-ground tomb in New Orleans, there is risk of it being water-logged or even displaced from the ground. For this reason, the people of New Orleans have generally used above-ground tombs. Personally, I think they look super cool! 🪦

Visited 1/13/2024 Skywalker1640 took it to Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen Louisiana - 1.11 miles  Visit Log

Marie Laveau was a famous and powerful voodoo priestess who lived in New Orleans in the 19th century. Renowned in life and revered in death, some say she continues to work her magic from beyond the grave. Laveau died in 1881, and is buried in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, in the tomb of her husband's family, the Glapions. People would scribble Xs on the whitewashed mausoleum in hopes Laveau will grant their wishes. A large fine is now in place for any visitor who attempts to write on the grave. 🪦

Designated by Congress as the official WWII museum of the United States, The National WWII Museum is located in downtown New Orleans. The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world, why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today. If you get an opportunity to visit, I highly recommend. 🪖🇺🇸

USS Kidd (DD-661), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who died on the bridge of his flagship USS Arizona during the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral Kidd was the first US flag officer to die during World War II and the first American admiral ever to be killed in action. A National Historic Landmark, she is now a museum ship, berthed on the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 🚢

One interesting history at the Louisiana State Capitol was the location of the assassination of US Senator and former Louisiana Governor, Huey P. Long. Long was shot in the Capitol building in front of the governor’s office by Dr. Carl Weiss. In fact you can still see a bullet hole in one of the columns. Out front is a statue of Long. In the picture, you can see the park and statue from top of the 27th floor of the Capitol. 🤴🏻🐟
