NOLA- favorites

[DCosmc]

I'm heading to New Orleans any suggestions? Places to park or favorite things to do?

I stayed in NOLA for about a week and had no problem at all just parking in big box store parking lots over nights. I used Office Depot, Lowes, Home Depot and a a few other random ones. Mostly places with wifi.

Speaking of wifi.. The big city park has pretty good wifi. You just have to move around a bit to find the best spots.

Also if you head west on 61, there is a park at a levee, It's called Bonnet Carre Spillway, it's a old US Amry Core of engineers park that is leased to the city. It was originally a campground and there are still signs there talking about camping but the park is free to access. I would assume you could get away camping there for free, but I didn't try as I had no problems just stealthing in parking lots with free wifi.

Google maps location of the spillway park.. https://www.google.com/maps/place/B...15,16z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xda4457570fcf4422

It was in kind of a bad area though, out by all the big refineries. I couldn't imagine anyone paying to stay there if they ever charged.

In early 2012, I spent a day walking around in the French Quarter, and a couple more days in the greater NOLA area. I overnighted at Walmarts, I believe. Here is a blog post you may find helpful -- http://suanneonline.blogspot.com/2013/02/remembering-new-orleans.html
