Port Fourchon

We headed out one morning to drive to Grand Isle State Park, but along the way we encountered signs telling us the park was closed (due to Hurricane damage, of course). So instead, we headed south to Port Fourchon. Sounds exotic, doesn't it... What we actually discovered was a working port for offshore oil drilling. We were amazed by how many rigs you could see just from the beach.

This photo's are stitched together and so are a little large, but it's interesting to try and count the drilling platforms. Just click on them to see them full size.

And the refinery...
