Robert I am looking for survey information on Jones Island in Tangipahoa Parish. I tried calling your office but didn't have any luck. Do you know of any surveys in the area?

It helps if you put the @ sign in front of the name; that way they get notified

Hello [USER=553]@Lamon Miller[/USER]
No, not really. I was involved in the tail end of a project of setting gages in Western Lake Pontchartrain once. Also, after Katrina/Rita did the HWM survey for COE south of there at Freneir.
Jones Island... For large acreage tracts, I would check out DNR, Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation and also SELU. There have has been marsh restoration work in the area through their SELU Turtle Cove project. If you are doing work for the Port Manchac, then there might be something in the courthouse in Amite. You should be in touch with [USER=6]@Daniel S. McCabe[/USER] since he is just a spit away from there. Barriloux Engineeers used to be the big dog over there and Stanley Turner former BFM surveyor is over there too.
Odd, you should ask. Few months ago, I did some research on the ghost town of Ruddock for a writer and a historical group. It is the 100th anniversary of the great hurricane of 1915 that completely wiped out that area off the face of the map. They are supposed to be preparing magazine articles for September. This whole area was a major cypress logging area way back when. Trees timbered and milled and put on the train for Chicago and points north back in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
And.. after 11 years, I dissolved the company and closed my office on July 1st. Moved everything (almost) 4 blocks to my home much to swmboÛªs silent annoyance. I sold my big desk last week to wrap that up I am freewheeling and freelancing work. If you need help with leg work, I will message you my number since the old office number doesn't work no mo'.
Sorry, I couldnÛªt give you more info. Oh Yeahh some of the best fried Catfish in the World at Middendorf's on Jones Island. I been there 100's of times since the 70s. If you are over there, I will meet you. The thin slice is to die fro.. hold onto it because it could flaot away liker a feather in a breeze. 🙂
We will be in New Orleans next week for a Staycation.

But geeez Doug [USER=413]@RADAR[/USER]..I was on the road at 5pm- yesterday..didn't get home to 9 and had to eat my cold sesame noodles and take a shower..didnt get notified to late. |-)
Dan did some research for me, highway plans, recorded plats etc. I am looking for any additional information I can find that may not be recorded. Dan and I ate at fat boys restaurant about a block away from Middendorf's. They had the best oyster poboy I have ever had. Dan said the roast beef poboy was excellent. The restaurant aspires to be a hole in the wall, my kind of place.

I have to check it out. I sure Dan knows his RB Poboys and you your oysters. Haven't been to Middendorfs in three or so years. Last time, I wondered if there was any catfish in the thin sliced.
If your looking for non-boundary mapping or control, try Ricardo in Laffy as a long shot.
Middendorf's was sold to a German couple and is not the same, IMHO.

Yea your right. I liked it in 70s and 80s. Every time I passed, has to stop for catfish even to go for the road.
Last time I was there was about 3 or 4 years ago when my son and I went Christmas shopping in Pontchatoula at the junque shops. He likes catfish and they had a Santa do it was nice. Also when he was very young and into trains, I would get the Amtrak schedule and take him there to see the draw bridge open/close.
I haven't seen you since the NGS seminar at UNO. But I see your brother around Chappapeela Park from time to time.

Geeez [USER=378]@Robert Hill[/USER] , don't you have a smart phone...:-S
LOL
I have to agree, the last couple times I was at Middendorf's it was disappointing. As you said, no catfish in the thin sliced and too much salt in everything. A shame, because I live in Maurepas and pass by there all the time. I'll have to try Fat Boys based on that recommendation though.
Lee, Fat boys was very good, the best RB po'boy in Tangipahoa parish.
Dan, is this you, at home? Or are there really two of you?

Eva has been working on her Phd at LSU so that leaves the running of the house and two teenage girls to deal with to me. It's always something, older daughter is try to graduate from high school a year early and younger daughter is all in on track, cross country and karate. She can kick a six foot tall man in the head and you don't even know that it is coming. (Don't ask me how I know that)
If Chappapella is a soccer park, that would make sense for seeing my brother. Take care of yourself.

I'm still around, Eva went back to school, LSU, to get her doctorate in Biology, so I have a lot more to do with the daughters, chasing off boys with shotguns and what not.
My brother seems to be into the soccer thing with his kids, so I would imagine that you would see him wherever there are kids and soccer games going on.
Peace.
