Re: Hackberry Rod and Gun/LA
Hackberry Rod & Gun <br /><br />Hackberry, LA USA<br /><br />We have had hundreds and hundreds of emails and phone calls since hurricane Rita inquiring about the state of things at Hackberry Rod & Gun. We were able to return to Hackberry two weekends ago to survey the damage Hurricane Rita did to our lodge. About 95% of the lodge was destroyed by winds and water. We feel like we might be able to save the dinning room and the office area but the rest will have to be cleared off and rebuilt. We are already making preliminary plans to meet with contractors and artichets to rebuild the lodge to even bigger and better standards. We hope to have the entire complex rebuilt by early spring in time for those huge springtime trout.<br /><br />Our prayers and yours were answered. Even though Hurricane Rita destroyed the lodge, the Stansels, our employees and their families are safe and together. We have been overwhelmed at the outpouring of people offering to help rebuild their special place away from home in southwest Louisiana. As we move forward with reconstruction we will continue to keep all of our outdoor friends informed.<br /><br />Please continue to pray for all of the people affected by both of these terrible hurricanes that struck the entire Louisiana coast.
