Has anyone recently been up to Morganza Spillway lately? I'm going up there Saturday to have a look and I'm wondering if I'll be able to stop and get some pics while I'm there.

I've seen the drive-by videos but I'll be by myself so I doubt I'll be able to do that.

Any suggestions?

I went over Sunday, there was a sheriff on each side and big signs saying not to stop. I don't know if they'll cuff you if you try and get some pics from the ends, but I doubt you'd have a lot of time to loiter.

I went yesterday. Just like everyone else has said, no chance to stop. It's cool to see, but honestly, it's not that different than the videos. It depends on where you're driving from, but I drove from Baton Rouge and it wasn't worth the trip.

I just came from there. I don't think the videos really show how much water there is out there.

But no, you definitely can't stop. There are signs on both sides that say "FOR THE NEXT 5 MILES, DO NOT STOP." I didn't see any cops out there, just one "Wildlife Agent" truck pulling a boat, and some guys from the Army CoE.

i passed on it last week and was able to stop. only because a corp worker on a golf cart was blocking a lane. and they were about to close the highway to open another gate
