This morning after hearing cajun music in the campground, we headed to Avery Island which is a large salt mound that was uplifted in this flat area ages ago. This is the location of our country's first salt mine and it will be mined for many more years. The salt starts 12 feet below the surface. The reason for the trip was to visit the home of Tabasco and tour the plant. All the Tabasco (and it is sold in 160 countries around the world) is bottled here. In the general store they even had two ice creams made with Tabasco and many other products I had never seen before. Had a great time sampling!
