State Campgrounds

 I will try and catch up on the last four days. Internet and phone service has been pretty weak. These photos are of Lake Fausse Point. The park we went 4 wheeling to get to. It rained the night we were there. It is a beautiful park. But it is in the wetlands (swamp). When it rains everything gets flooded. It has a lot of trails but they were all underwater. The great thing about LA parks is they cost 18.00 you get electric, water, free laundry, and wifi if it is clear. Saw my first armadillo and alligator. The river has snakes and lots of alligator so no kayaking for me!! The birds and birds calls are fabulous. Listen to two owls talk to each other most of the night

Bayou State Camping Ground New Orleans
Stayed two nights at this campground on the west bank. The first night it rained cats and dogs with thunder and lighting. The next day it was like a steam bath.  Beautiful camp ground.This long cement wall is part of the new levee. It seems to go on for ever.

 The campground has a wave pool (opens 4/1), hiking, trails, kayaking, boat ramp, cabins for rent and conference center etc. We did a lot of bike riding and relaxing.  I am on my 5th book.

While riding our bikes we found a block of fresh fish markets. There are 25 to 30 shacks that sell fresh fish, crawfish, crab, and shrimp. We had lunch at one of the stores. Bought a pound of large shrimp for 3.75. They still had heads on.
While cooking dinner our last night at the campground I was coming out of the trailer with my hands full slipped and fell. I have a huge black and blue spot on my right side and messed up my elbow.  Feel much better now.
We decided to move to a KOA RV park to be closer to town and transportation.
