Another warm night 73 F at 5 am and 80% humidity but no sunshine yet. I got a few walkabouts this morning and coffees consumed no real rush today only have to travel a leisurely 82 Miles to Biloxi. Another membership park under AOR (adventure outdoor resorts) only $9.00 a night.But because our coach is 36 feet we had to pay an extra $4 a night, for a 50 amp site we don't need, but really a much nicer and large site. Cement parking pads and patios worth the extra.
Nice drive along I-10 and the road are pretty good, No complaints from us at all. We arrived at Martin Lake by 11 am got checked in and set up in no time. Pretty hot 83F and much hotter in the sun, One of the first things I did was open our awning, Then a light tasty lunch, Satellite dish set up and we will be good here for the next 4 days.

I finished another Robert Craig Book and began another Elvis Cole, next in the series I am really hooked on his adventures with Joe Pike.
Soon time to fire up our Weber Q to grill a couple of chicken breasts. We need to do it earlier now as it gets dark at 5:02 pm.

Now at 7 pm still 68 F outside and very dark so heading inside for the night. read a bit more and watch something on the Tube, (whatever Suzie wants is fine with me).
This was another wonderful warm day , enjoying this weather and moving on down the road is what we love. A few things we will check out in this area again , it's been a few years.

Hello George, Suzie.
ReplyDeleteI love that area very much. In fact I travelled there many times over the years. It's a very diverse area with a wonderful mix of people. Enjoy your time in the area.
Deb
We always enjoy this area like you said a wonderful mix of friendly people and so much to see and do. Always enjoy coming back.
DeleteHope the weather holds for you, be nice to be able to read outside. I was surprised by the number of homes built on stilts in preparation for the next Katrina. Had a fish taco made with catfish, a nice firm white meat that worked! at one of the beach spots - OK I need to write down these places... Keep up the road conditions reports, I-10 seems to vary greatly and we might be in that area next year.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been doing pretty good for us , no complaints at all. So far the sections of I-10 have been pretty good, mind you we will still be travelling another 2,000 miles on it . We do love catfish and excellent fish.
DeleteNice places you stay at. Keep enjoying the journey
ReplyDeleteThanks JO, We enjoy coming back to these places for the different scenery and cultures always fun.
DeleteWe stayed in that same park on our way east several years ago. They had a water/pipe leak when we were there so the cement pad was very good to have under us. The ducks still seem to be enjoying the wet area.
ReplyDeleteReally like the sculptures at the welcome center. What a great way to make something beautiful out of the damage.
This park has always been wet every time we were here. the cement roads and pads are very necessary. Love all the sculptures and we will see a lot more in only the coast in Biloxi.
DeleteWe really enjoyed that ride along the coast. Hope to repeat it on our ride East this spring. Enjoy
DeleteVery nice looking park for a great price. I also don't like that it gets dark so early at 5PM. Takes some getting used to.
ReplyDeleteit is a nice park and love the membership price, Adjusting to the early sunset is something we don't much care for but it is what it is.
DeleteI was surprised when I read where you are. Looks like they have cleaned up that Park from your pictures. Stayed there about 6 years ago, as it is a PA park. There were far too many permanent residents who did not care about their RVs or trailers. Looks great now.
ReplyDeleteStill lots fo older rv's and permanent residents here, not too much different than 6 years ago, but our site is nice and we enjoy the area for the price with full hookups and free wifi.
DeleteI'm surprised you were able to use the tunnel, we are to tall for it. Looks like a nice place to enjoy the next four days.
ReplyDeleteWe have used it quite a few times we are only 11ft 9 inches. There was some trucks went through here ahead of us.
DeleteI've always wanted to check out that part of the country. Thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteIt is an area we have been to many times and really enjoy it. The people, the foods and the scenery. All lotsa fun.
DeleteGlad to see you soaking up that heat. Enjoy. Safe Travels
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorne we sure are, loving it here.
