re: Anyone here have family connections to the former Bayou Chene community?

A little more information. Around that Atchafalaya area, the long section of bridge between Baton Rouge and Lafayette. There’s a marker on Bayou des Glaises , not far from there is Bayou Big Alabama, that’s where Tony Chachere had his camp. A bunch of my friends were in the same camp with him. That where he started making his seasoning blend.

A good friend of mine goes into the Spillway, lifts the Cypress logs that have been in there for over 100 years. He has his own mill, rough cuts this cypress, he has over 1,000 board feet of lumber.
