“The electric hum of cicadas, which was a low drone near the road, become an overwhelming vibration in the neck-deep brush that had taken back what was once a long driveway and front yard.

“When you first step from your comfort bubble into a new environment, all the sensory details are acutely apparent: the guttural sound of the toads, what locals call the Ouaouarons (pronounced “wa-wa-rons”), the crooning of some foreign night bird deep in a jungle of pine, palmetto, and cypress, the sweet scent of night-blooming flowers mixing with the loamy, earthen banks of the bayou, Spanish Moss draped like early Halloween decorations on the sagging arms of tree-giants, and the feel of thick, wet air filling your head and chest.” AbandonedTravel QuotesLouisianaLouisiana BayouMike CorrellCypress TreesSulphurLouisiana HistoryNrg CreationsSpanish Moss Book:Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana Source: Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana
“We came to discover a world rich with culture, history, and bayous.
