As part of the Gambit's "Cheap Thrills" issue, Alex Woodward lists five Louisiana day trips that won't break the bank. There's artist John Preble's must-see Abita Mystery House (also known as the UCM Museum) across the lake in Abita Springs; Avery Island, home to Tabasco hot sauce; the Barataria Preserve on the West Bank (beware of 'gators!); a ramble to the Cajun music capital of the world; and a way down the bayou trip to Grand Isle.
