Jefferson Island. We invite you to the charming and mysterious Jefferson Island.
Near the southernmost part of Louisiana's delta country lie a series of five wooded "islands," which rise up above the grassy marshlands and prairies that surround them. From 50 to 100 feet above sea level, these areas of high ground are sitting on top of mammoth, immovable columns of salt, which hold them up above the surrounding countryside. These monoliths of salt are two to three miles wide and five miles or more in depth. Jefferson Island is one of the five islands. A mysterious place, the island is haunted by the legend that Jean Lafitte, the pirate, buried his treasures under the giant live oaks that would later shelter a home and garden.
The vista leading to Rip Van Winkle Gardens is fringed with Rip Van Winkle Road, a one and a half mile avenue of live oaks, sentinels along the roadside. On November 20, 1980 a drilling rig pierced one of the giant caverns of the Diamond Crystal Salt Mine, flooding the entire mine. Cajun Palms RV Resort - Amenities.

On this edition of Throwback Thursday, we’re revisiting a blog post on favourite topic – camp blankets!
Camp Blanket. Guider Sarah L Dartmouth NS When I became a Brownie leader, right before we went to camp, I always brought my camp blanket to a meeting. This was a great way to start a conversation with the girls about camp, WAGGGS (I have several international crests and scarves on my blanket) and to get them excited about moving up to Guides, Pathfinders, Rangers and hopefully into being a Brown Owl one day. It was a great tool because the girls could see and feel things; it wasn’t just me talking to them about it.
After a year or two of noticing that the girls (and parents) didn’t totally understand the difference between a program badge and a crest, I started to bring the blanket out earlier in the year.
