destinations in south Louisiana. It is not only rich in natural history but in the history of the
McIlhenny family and the spicy story behind the word-famous Tabasco pepper sauce. Since we will be traveling west on I-10, we will meet at Coffee Call at 7am with a departure time of 7:30am. Avery Island opens at 9am. We will spend the day on Avery Island where we can drive and walk through the Jungle Gardens or tour the Tabasco factory.
