Jim was up first on this 2nd travel day. We had great water views, this place will be nice when finished. But small, and a little close to the road.
We left about 10 am, this morning. We crossed the 20 mile bridge Louisiana Airborne Memorial Bridge, just after Batton Rouge. About 3/4 of the way there is I 10 rest area, we made a quick, 1 time stop there.
We went total 199 miles today. We had a couple of quick heavy stop and start showers right before we pulled into CG.
Another cool bridge
We arrived at the Lafayette KOA around 2. Got a quick peek at the Easter Bunny.
Found our spot. Was hot and humid. Was a little tight. We had alot of people watching. Some came over to ask how big we are etc. Before we even unhooked, not cool. Today again truck did great.
I heated up leftovers for lunch. Got set up. Still keeping our problem slide in.
We went for a walk around the park. Bigger then I thought, and the highway is right behind us.
When we got back a lady stopped and said she saw Jim and his Hair, she had to follow us, she knew a guy that looks just like him She thought, and he is 25.
Lol she showed us a pic of him. What do you think.
We all talked together almost 2 hours. Her daughter and her boyfriend were with her. She couldn't believe that she was going to tell us that.
They were so nice, she said now you have family in Louisiana. Sweet thanks Gina
When they left was after 7 by then. Heated up leftover dinner from the other night.
We showered and relaxed for the rest of the evening.
That bridge is over the Atchafalaya Basin. When we were down there in March there was an accident at the end of the east bound bridge. Luckily we were on the west bound bridge. The traffic was backed up all the way across the bridge plus about two miles where it ended. More than 20 miles of traffic standing still. We always stop at the Welcome Center. There were a few trucks and cars waiting it out down there. Was going to be a long wait.
