Across Louisiana.

We departed Bay St Louis Mississippi at 10:15. Our route today would take us along I-10 to the far side of Louisiana, almost into Texas.





The drive was across terrain that could only be described as flat flat and flat, wet wet and wet. No surprise that hurricane Katrina did so much damage.




For one section of the drive wast of Baton Rouge the divided highway consisted of about 10 miles of bridge over lakes, bayou, and swamp the two firmer areas along the way allowing interchanges to near by towns, one of which had a large rest area and information center where we stopped for lunch.


Rolling along after lunch, still flat and still a lot of water. Our fuel burn has decreased considerably. One useful addition to the VMSpc (on the notebook) has been a fuel calculator, indicating the number of US gallons remaining in the fuel tank. So far it has been within 2 gallons when it comes time to refuel.



We had about a three hour drive to our night stop so we pulled into handy rest areas changing drivers twice. At about 4:30 we arrived at VRV Park in Vinton, "Gateway to Cajun Country" In our case it must have been the back gate cause we were on our way out!



This was a very nice park, wide grassy sites low trees (satellite TV) free wireless, plus freeway and train noises to keep us occupied.

The weather had remained perfect all day and into the evening. Here we added the last "State sticker" to the side of the motorhome.
