All that weather that hit Dallas yesterday (minus the
tornados) hit us at one in the morning. The lightening was non-stop. The
flashes coming in through the shower skylight made it like a disco in the
bedroom, and the rain was coming down like crazy. Worrying that the wind would
pick up greatly I pulled in the slides to avoid damage to the topper canvas. It
took forever to get back to sleep, but eventually we did.
We woke to the traditional coffee grinder alarm, but ended
up waiting until after eleven for the rain to abate before leaving.
It was a good drive. A lot of I-10 through MS and LA was
washboardy and irritating, but once past Baton Rouge and heading north on I-49
it was pretty nice.
Baton Rouge
We rolled into the Nakatosh Campground just before five and
got settled in.
There was a reason for stopping. Would you believe it was
related to food? Oh, yeah! When we drove west right after retirement we stopped
in Natchitoches and found a great Cajun restaurant on Front Street. Mama’s
Oyster House is worth driving out of your way for. We are partial to the
Catfish Supreme, a pair of fillets smothered in etouffee sauce. Spicy good
stuff.
So today was pretty much driving and eating. We are excited
because tomorrow we reach Chris and Lisa’s to spend time with grandson Jack.
