It was another driving day dominated by rain until early
afternoon. We chose to top-off fuel prior to leaving I-10 for I-49 northbound.
That would allow us to get close to Dallas before refueling again, thus having
enough in the tank to not worry about finding fuel in the congested Dallas
area.
The rain had the Flying J truck stop backed up so there was
a long wait to get to the pump. I hoped that the wait would be long enough for
the rain to stop, but no such luck. Soggy AND smelling like diesel. What fun.
The rain did stop as we turned north and things were nice
and dry at the Nakatosh Campground. We found it better than we remembered. The
site is nice and level and there are some shade trees, yet not so many that
DirecTV could not get through. Wouldn’t you know that we found Steel Magnolias
playing on the TV? It was filmed here.
We drove into the historic old town of Natchitoches and had
dinner at Moma’s Oyster Bar. The Catfish Supreme was as good as we remembered,
and we toasted our tenth wedding anniversary over an Abita Beer.
We first had the catfish etouffe here at
Moma’s on our way to California on our first post retirement trip. Good food
and good memories. After dinner we had a nice walk along the Cane River before
returning to the campground.
