    It has changed a lot since one of the recent hurricanes blew through there. I will try to remember to take some pics for you. I bet you remember that wooden floor, above ground store with a big spring and a bell on the door when you first drove in. We would often stop after our hunt to get a microwave burger. Microwave burgers were the shit back then. We didn't even have a micro at home or had just gotten one, possibly. There were $800.00 back then. My grandmother had given us our first one as a Christmas gift.

    If there are any specific places in Hackberry you'd like a pic of let me know.

    Man, that was 50 years ago. I remember Hurricane Audrey did a number on Cameron/Holly Beach/Hackberry in 1957. A good friend of mine dated and eventually married a girl from Hackberry.

    Yeah but I was talking about a more recent one. It literally wiped out nearly every structure. Can't remember name but in last 15 years.

    Looks like it was either Ike or Rita.

    His body was found in Lake Charles, 52 miles inland.[4]
    That astounded the shit out of me.

    I don't know if he was white or black but either way the opposite race could say even the gators wouldn't eat him.

    Went with a group of about 12 once and hunted a lease that I'm pretty sure was owned by the Mc.Ilhenny's. Anyway, we had all limited out for Friday and Saturday with Sunday still to hunt so they decided it was a good idea to haul the ducks back to the landing and have someone pick them up. My cousin and I got handed the job and the boat breaks down in the intercoastal canal. There we sit on 24 limits of ducks just drifting. A game warden actually stopped and towed us in. He never asked what was in the boat.

    My grandfather used to own 2 camps out there. Hurricane took em both. I think the land where they used to stand is now in the gulf.
