Louisiana and the start of the Great River Road Trip

More of this hazy, hot and humid… seems like we will never get out of this hot, sticky weather. We haven’t had the air conditioner turned off since we were in Big Bend! But I digress.

Now that we are on the move again we seem to be touring the casinos of Louisiana. First stop was Lake Charles. Actually we stayed in Sulphur (aptly named) for 2 nights while they visited a couple of casinos. Then we moved to Coushatta Casino's RV Park. Very nice place and a great deal… pay for 3 nights get next 2 nights free! Who could say no to that. Then when we checked out, they comped the whole stay!

Natchez was our next stop. We actually stayed across the river in Vidalia, LA at the Riverview RV Park. As the name implies we were right on the river across from Natchez and could watch all the boat and barge traffic floating by. Natchez has one small casino in a riverboat called the Isle of Capri. It also has a myriad of well-preserved antebellum homes which they toured one sweltering morning. Another day they took a drive in the car on the Natchez Trace Scenic Parkway. I’m glad they came back because if they had driven the whole 444 miles, I would never have seen them again.

They took some fun pictures in and around Natchez… enjoy
