We Are Still In Louisiana

One of the places we wanted to see in Louisiana was Myrtle Plantation.  When we drove into St. Francisville  and did a little research on the area we both reached the decision to wait.  There are historical cemeteries, historical homes, civil war battle sites and hiking.  To much to do in less than 5 hours.  

We did find a RV park in St. Francisville.  It was a wonderful park.  Okay a little run down but wonderful.  We were greeted by a wagging tail, nice people, and reasonable rates.  Later that evening another pooch came up to visit while mom and I were sitting outside.   The trouble I had was my doo hickey kept going off.  I bought an electrical thing to monitor our electricity.  It was really really cheap and it flashes 120 and F60.   It was a cool night light and I was  looking forward to having Robert, my daughter’s beau, explain it to me.  Then it went off and I found myself googling “Reverse Polarity Fault Condition” to “Low Voltage.”  It was a crash course in electricity.  That is why I love the RV life.  You learn so much, you experience so much, and life is really never dull.    I fixed the electrical problem by hooking up to a different electric “doo hickey.”  LOL

Right now we are in Marksville Louisiana and the Paragon Casino RV Park.  It is a Good Sam and Passport America park and the rates are very reasonable.  We are leaving tomorrow and will be in Kansas as planned. 

We met another Van Dwelling couple from Canada.  They wintered in Texas but are not committed to staying in one place during the winter.  They were a nice couple and a delight to talk to. 

I am actually looking forward to the drive tomorrow.  Life is GREAT!
