new orleans to baton rouge ride inquiry

Am planning a tour of area south of Lafayette (New Iberia/Morgan City,
Houma) then back up to New Roads, St. Francisville, Opelousas...

a) which would make for a more interesting route from Morgan City to
Donaldson (from viewpoint of culture/scenery/route): Morgan City -
Houma - Thobodaux- Donaldson, or just cut north from Morgan City by
the big lakes on Rt. 70, ending up in Donaldson? Are Housma and
Thibodaux dives or worthy destinations?

b) can you recommend any of the swamp tours out of Morgan City area?

c) Is US 190 bikeable from US 1 west to Opelousas? (alternative to
back roads)

I am also interested in any other tips for biking in this area.

Thanks, Phil

Try the Yahoo group for the Baton Rouge BC. Lots of helpful folks
on there. And I recognize many of your listed towns from talking with
riders last year on their Jambalaya (Thanksgiving weekend) tour.
