I'm from Baton Rouge. I started visiting Mtn. View about 10yrs ago and fell in love with the area. 2 yrs. ago I bought a lot on the White River at Marcella from Patrick Stair. Email me at charles cyriaque @ yahoo.com and I'll send you some pics of it.
I had Scott Stewart build a wooden portable building that I use as a primitive cabin when I go up there. I plan to go again for New Year's eve. The area is a real throwback to the 1950's. I love the music around the courthouse square.
