View last night driving over the Causeway from New Orleans to Mandeville.
Did you know that Lake Ponchartrain is the 2nd biggest salt water lake in the United States? Though it's not just salt. It's technically brackish water, meaning that it has both salt and fresh water parts.
And with 23.87 miles of drive time we were able to watch the set set over the lake. Cars have been crossing the lake to and from New Orleans since 1956. The toll is $3.00 but only if you're headed southbound into the city. To save a buck and get some other great views travel out on the Causeway and then back in via US Route 11 from Slidell or US Route 51 through Manchac.
Did you know the band Ludo has a song about this lake?
