Dec 3 – Our last day in Louisiana is in Covington. Why? Because Covington completes our circle and gets us back near New Orleans. It also puts us in position to cross Lake Ponchartrain on the world’s longest continuous bridge for cars over water – 25 miles. (It used to just be the world’s longest bridge, but newer bridges in China necessitated the addition of some qualifiers.)

Covington is also home to the Abita Mystery House / UCM Museum, a dusty little roadside attraction that is not to be missed (spoken with tongue firmly in cheek).
