Is the Gulf Coast ride going to Grand Isle?

 

[gene0108]

We have not decided. Do you want to go to Grand Isle?

Any vendor information?

 

[gene0108]

There will be a few vendors there but this event is about riding and visiting with friends.

We've never been there before and were curious about it. Is it worth the ride?

 

[gene0108]

If you have never been there you need to go. Just to say you have been there. It is always the city they talk about when a hurricane is going thru. We will get you there if you want to go.

I used to live in LaRose and have made my fair amount of trips to Grand Isle.
It is NOTHING like Galveston, lets start there. There is no downtown to see and not many photo ops at all. There's no seawall of any-kind and the only public access onto the beach is through the state park which you have to pay to get into.
Grand Isle is more Camps and fishing than anything else.
It would be one of those things to see if you're already in the area, maybe, but I would be inclined even less to go now that the only way to get there is via the toll road they put in.

In my truthful opinion, its not worth the gas to go down there.

Edit: PS...check out google street view for an idea of how it looks. Pretty much exactly as I remember it.

Hear about Grand Isle here over too when a hurricane goes through. Thought there might be more to the Isle.

We can ride down before or after the event, no worries...
