Downtown St Francisville is historic with most of the homes restored and occupied by either residents or businesses. This makes it very homey. And the entire city is considered a bird sanctuary. We had also tried to visit Cat Island NWR during our stay, but found that a "low water bridge" really isn't a bridge at all. It's a crossing at "low water". It wasn't low water when we arrived at the "bridge", so we had to turn back. Even when our forays into the unknown turn out to be a bust, we usually see something new or just have a nice drive to nowhere.
We also decided to check out the ferry we were going to have to take when leaving town. This ferry crosses the mighty Mississippi. Not only does it have to battle the strong currents, but it has to dodge mammoth barges. It runs every half hour. Giving it just 15 minutes to load up, cross the river, and unload before doing it again.
After taking a look at the ferry, we decided to drive separate the next day. It could fit a 51' vehicle, but we decided to make it easier on ourselves in case it was crowded.
