    Man your in for a culture shock at Toledo Bend. Biggest town around there may have a couple stop lights, and a bunch of nice rednecks. Chicago and Toledo Bend is no comparison

    Post #4 from your thread in the Louisiana forum pretty much sums up what's in the area - http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread....=1#post8850525. If you need some city comforts, Shreveport or Lufkin are more or less an hour away.

    Fin and Feather isn't cheap but it's nice and there is a Mercury shop about five minutes away that is owned by Stephen Johnston as mentioned earlier.
