SWAMP PEOPLE TOUR
DUFFY’S SHELL STATION If you’re a big fan of Swamp People, you
may not recognize it but you’ll know this place—it’s where Troy,
Jacob and Liz bring their alligators at the end of the day. When not
fishing, this is their go-to place. You never know when Troy or Jacob
may show up. Your opportunity to purchase your Choot’em gear and
get a picture and an autograph. • 4030 Highway 70 S, Pierre Part, LA
70339-4462, (985) 252-6339
ADAM MORALES Adam Morales is the “Driftwood Man.” He
collects wood from the Atchafalaya Basin, the largest overflow swamp
in the nation, and creates memorable pieces. His Statue of Liberty
was showcased in the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.
This is a private home but Mr. Morales enjoys company. • South Bay
