Back on the road!

On the road again. To date, we have been through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska,  Kansas,  Oklahoma, Missouri,  Arkansas,  and now in Louisiana. 

Left Hot Springs Arkansas today...not a day too soon! Started out a bit wet this morning but now they are on Tornado watch!
Still seeing so many poor armadillos....have yet to see a live one 😢 

Fairly short drive today, only about 6 ish hours. This is one of Lu's travel positions! She has been doing so great! 

We are noticing less forest and more open spaces now. The roads have not been busy at all. Nice mix of highways and rural roads. This part of the country they love their lawns....acres and acres of neatly mowed land. Sometimes the homes themselves are small and very unassuming, but the lawns are out of this world!
Dollar stores are like belly buttons down here!

Tonight we got a $15.00 RVsite at a casino through Passport America! Even a great outdoor pool which i hope to use in the morning.

The sites are so nice and large! The park is enormous as well as about 25 cabins.

Lu finally able to get out for some play time!
The casino is pretty impressive, restaurants, stores, pool and kids zone area and gators!  

Took Lu fur a walk tonight and met a  very interesting couple. Of course they have a dog, so that's how we met.

 Learned a few new words for down south....River rats are people who live near the river...a certain type of Cajun people are  called Coon-ass and that's what the guy said he was...took a bit to be a able to understand him. She was easier to understand but she was only a bit Coon-ass.

Found out that even down here the 3 year old from San Jose who says "Linda, listen" is a thing, she's a teacher and she uses it all the time,  the kids love it!

Also found out people fish in the ditch for crawfish.........or better known as mud bugs! If you are a true southern you can eat 4 or 5 pounds of crawfish in a sitting!

Found out we need to go to Waffle House and pass on the Sonic Drive thru.

Cheers!

Left South Dakota this morning, through a part of Wyoming and into Montana. The scenery in this area is really gorgeous.  But before long the weather changed...storms up ahead and apparently through the night in Bozeman. Free night at the Walmart with about another 30  or so RV/camper vans......hoping for a quiet night...cold here tonight....used the furnace for the first time in a very long time on this trip...brrrr

Long time coming....

Image
 It's been a very very long 2 years waiting...patiently waiting.....for things to return to normal... We were set to embark on this same holiday in March 2020 when Covid changed everything for everyone. Now 2 years later, our travel furbaby has changed. We lost our beloved Gracie before we could enjoy another big trip with her.  She was an amazing traveller and we were so fortunate to have been able to make many memories with her over the 14 years of RV adventures! We loved every minute of it and miss her dearly. And then along came Lucy Lu. Oh the adventures she will have!

June 10 - Lazy day

Image
Today was a lazy day. As no cell service and wifi at the campground, I needed some down time to book some stuff. Found a great dog park and Lu made a new little friend... Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...
