CATCH UP

 

 

Well, as usual, we are behind on the blog.  Although, not a lot has happen since the last update.

Because of the weather, we didn’t leave Whitsett until the 25th of January with intentions on stopping in Houston for a few days.  Unfortunately, due to all the construction and pipeline workers we were unable to find a campground in the Houston area.  So, we headed further east to Beaumont, Texas and found a place to stay there.  From there, we did take a drive down to Port Arthur, Texas and visited The Museum of the Gulf Coast.  Their claim to fame is that it is the home of Janis Joplin.

This is a replica of her car.  Now, she was not one of my favorite artists so I was not all that impressed.

Unfortunately, the town itself is pretty run down.

They did has a couple of historical homes.  We did not take the tours of them but did drive by:

We finally left Beaumont on the 2nd of February and met up the the Chapman’s at the Coushatta Casino in Kinder, Louisiana.  They have a very nice campground there and I was actually lucky at the slots and won $100.00!!!!!

We are now at Betty’s RV Park in Abbeville, Louisiana and getting prepared for Mardi Gras.  A fun time for all!!!!!!

Take care…….

  1. Hope you are enjoying your down time off the gate. Sorry you weren't able to visit at Galveston RV Park, they do stay full, openings don't stay available for long. We leave Monday the 24th, but will not be heading west this year. Will stay 6 weeks at 2 TT parks (Columbus and Lake Conroe) waiting for the weather to improve. We'll also finish some projects we couldn't get to here due to cold, rain and Greg's clients. It's been wonderful here though. Jan
