Our breakfast this morning was a waffle shaped liked the state of Texas... a complimentary breakfast from the park. We left Gulf Coast RV Park, Beaumont, Texas at 8:45 am (ET). A couple of hours later we were hungry... the waffles didn't last. We stopped at a truck plaza/center and walked around and there was a Hardee's inside so we got sausage biscuits to go.

We bought gas in Duson Louisiana at $2.88 a gallon. A short distance down the road it became a rough ride. We'll probably be sore from it. In the trailer it the sofa bounced a bit and slid forward and the cushions were all topsy-turvy. The cabinets stayed shut... so Frank has for sure fixed that problem :-))

We arrived at Frenchman's Wilderness Campground & RV Park at Henderson Louisiana at noon. Our cost with Good Sam is $28.50 for the night... they overcharged us $2 and Frank caught it and got the refund. They charge $2 for the cement slab out by the trailer. Now isn't that ridiculous? We are in site #38. The campground is shady and the grounds well kept... a really nice looking campground. The roads and sites are gravel.

I checked the bath house out and Frank asked me how it was. I said compared to Castroville Regional Park the bath house is an A+, but compared to Gulf Coast RV Park it is a C or maybe a D :-)) The bath house is clean here, just old looking.

We saw a lot of bayous, rice fields and crawdad ponds today. The clouds have rolled in and out all day. We got a sprinkle of rain after lunch... which was barbecue sandwiches, corn, tomatoes and green beans.

The sun came out and it is typical South... warm and humid. We went for a walk around 7 pm (CT). We probably walked close to a mile around the perimeter of the park. There are a lot of permanent residents. On our walk we saw a snake... we don't know what kind, but it looked like some type of water snake.

Frank set the satellite dish up and we watched In Plain Sight on the USA network and then went to bed.

We traveled 160 miles today.
