Tammany Trace Lacombe to Fontainebleau
This is a time lapse film I made with a GoPro Hero 3+ Black. We started at the tackle shop in Lacombe, LA. We then took the Tammany trace to Fontainebleau state park, and rode all three walking paths. After filming this...I'm no longer a fan of using time lapse for cycling, but I uploaded it anyway. Hope you enjoy.

Camp Salmen Nature Park: Things to Do in Louisiana [Slidell, LA] - Road Trip
Our family is taking a road trip for a cheap family vacation this summer. Since we are driving through Slidell, Louisiana, we found some things to do in Louisiana. ????Subscribe to learn to travel together & stay together as family:
Our family loves to be in nature, so we found a nearby nature park with playgrounds and with nature trails in Slidell, Louisiana for lunch. We made a stop at Camp Salmen Nature Park.
This is a great place to find free things to do in LA with kids. There are so many things to do at Camp Salmen Nature Park in the city of Slidell, LA from nature trails to historic sites.
We did not know that this 130 acre nature park with lots of nature trails existed in the city of Slidell until we took this road trip for a cheap family vacation.
If you love going on family hikes, and you are in the city of Slidell, LA and you're looking for a cheap family vacation, make sure to take a day to hike some of the nature trails at Camp Salmen Nature Park in Slidell.
We didn't have time to, but that just means that we will have to come to Camp Salmen Nature Park again to hike the trails in beautiful Louisiana nature.

We love reading about your travel adventures in the comments as you share with us, too.
We believe that families that travel together, stay together. Our channel is all about how we travel as a family through family travel vlogs. We believe that families are meant to learn, explore, and be together.
Our family has a goal of selling everything that we own (including our house), buying an RV, and traveling the country full-time making family vlogs and videos for YouTube.
We would love to have you subscribe to our story as we travel the country and the world as a family so that we can spread a message of how family travel helps keep families together and makes them stronger. We hope that we will be challenged, learn, grow, and be inspired together as we share our travels with the community surrounding our family travel vlogs.
