Day 19, 20 and 21 with Ruby and Rocket

Hi,

Well it’s been a couple days.  Silsbee was a little challenge.  I had a great drive there but ended up lost for a while once I got there.  Gabby drove me CRAZY!  I ended up on a very narrow street and hit something with my passenger rear view mirror.  The bottom part fell off so that was not fun.  Don’t know what damage I did to whatever I hit.  Tina at the Red Cloud RV Park was great as she gave me directions a couple of times so I finally found it.  Bill actually arrived before me! 

To make matters worse Bill performed his dump duty and the valve wouldn't close after dumping.  Yuck!  Tina recommended an RV Service place but they were swamped with the Easter Holiday but they recommended a guy who did house calls.  I contacted him and he promised to show up the next morning. YES! 

After this drama I decided I was not cooking.  Tina had recommended a great BBQ place just down the road we bust Rocket out and head on out.  This was serious BBQ and really good.  It was a little small building and very casual.  YUMMY!

The next morning my repair guy shows up with his helper and it takes them 3 hours to replace the value as it's difficult to geet to.  In the mean time the guy rips his jeans and shit leaks out - he says to me it's a shitty job but someone has to do it! After getting that taken care of and he also fixed the mirror, I headed to Coushatta, LA.  Yeah we are out of Texas!

We stayed last night at the Couschatta Casino RV Resort in Couschattta, LA.  This was a nice park and was able to take the shuttle to the casino.  We had a nice dinner at the Resort.  Two nights of not cooking – I’m on a roll!

Today I drove to Marksville, LA and we’re staying at another Casino RV Park.  I must say that Louisiana doesn't maintain their roads as well as Texas! It’s spring break here so lots of families and it’s definitely Louisiana!  I stopped at a little market today on my drive and bought some shrimp they were advertising.  Made me think of Forrest Gump! Anyway no drama today thank goodness. The music is still going strong across the way and it's 10:30 PM. 

Next morning.  I'm in bed typing and OH! there starts the music again!

I'm off to Brec Farr RV Park, Baton Rouge where we have a 2 day stay.  Yippee! 

Take care and Happy Easter to all of you!j
