Weather should still be pretty cool. but not a bad idea to bring some bug spray as we will be in the woods. Rain gear is a must. As far as food is concerned, most of the better NO restaurants have locations in Baton Rouge. Finding a good place to eat is definitely easy. Best part, they are all within 15 to 20 minutes from the range. While in NO , if you get the chance, DO NOT miss the D-Day Museum! you will not regret it. One of my personal friends and buddies built the Higgins landing craft on display from the keel up using the original plans. re-built original engine and running gear. { found in a scrap yard in CA. }There is also an original PT boat you can take a ride on that is located at the N O Lakefront Airport. N O is only 45 minutes away from the range. Have a safe trip. You will meet some great folks.
