But that did not stop the destruction.  Like Audrey so many years ago, the tides rose, the winds blew (11 hours over 100 mph) and our beloved Cameron parish took a direct hit in the deadly northeast quadrant of the storm.  And Oak Grove, that was last hit and destroyed by Audrey, was once again completely blown away.  Nothing left but a few scattered reminants of what used to be our beloved camp.  A few shotgun shells and dishes scattered here and there.  Nothing of any substance that could be salvaged.  Nothing but the gates and our mailbox remained. The most important thing was that our wonderful long time guides and camp staff were safe!  Many lost their homes and belongings, but not their lives.  For that, we are so very grateful.

So, it was back to square one.  What to do?  To rebuild or not, and where.  After due consideration our members decided to move back to Little Chenier Road and look for a piece of property there.  We did get lucky in 2006 and found a 10 acre tract half way between our old stops 1 and 2 where we launched for hunting.  The property had a small trail that led a quarter of a mile or so right back to our Miami Corporation lease.  The deal was done.  And in 2007 we broke ground (actually 10 ½ feet above sea level and 3 ½ feet above the Rita high water mark for that area) and started construction on the camp. The camp re-opened at Little Chenier in November of 2007 and once again sharing the finest duck hunting in the US with our friends and families.
