       We had a very nice sleep at this visitor's centre, very heavy rain could barley hear the TV at times, and also drowned out some of the road noise from I-10 according to Suzie, I don't hear that stuff. A mild night about 52F outside very comfy in here.
     Up early and walked about this area for a while and used their very fast free wifi for some updates and a large file that my son had sent me. MP3 he made of a Billy Kell album I had.(he has now) Wow what a nice treat.
    Got our coffees and breaky taken care of the sun was up and I-10 was clear to go. So at 7:15 am we hit the road heading west. Mostly a good drive very little traffic and some rough spots here and there. some construction etc. We have been on worse roads.

more across the swamp
towards Lafayette LA

think this is where the firey accident was yesterday

lots of nice road as well

a huge bridge over a river?

oil refineries galore

more construction for about an hours but not much traffic

once in Texas even more for a while then not bad

    We stopped at the Flying J in Orange Texas to fuel up Gas was $2.20 a gallon diesel $3.15 sure glad our rv is gas! We did actually see gas for $1.98 a gallon but going eastbound and not an rv friendly station.

I-10 got better for a while then we exited at
Beaumont Texas taking Tx 105 towards Conroe Texas. 

this TX 105 a wonderful very good 2 lane road, wide shoulders
speen limit 75 MPH ! I-10 was mostly 65?

getting closer to Willis some very scenic back
roads for about 20 miles

     This be our destination another membership campground where we can stay for 2 weeks (free) no overnight fees full hookups and 50 amp service to boot! Not that we need it. The sites are not fancy at all but we really don't care we have what we need in our own house.
     Asked about Thanksgiving when we checked in but there will be no celebration at all this year (new owners) Not a problem for us. enjoyed our Thanks giving at home with family. We have done a Thanksgiving meal in the past at this campground before, usually a potluck anyway.

this be the place

    We do have a decent pull through site, lotsa room and close to the laundry and facilities.
All set up and enjoying a nice warm sunny after noon, about 60F but a cool breeze.
     Chatted with our new neighbours Denis and Anne from Washington, formerly Quebec Canada, they just went full-time this year and discovered how membership camping works in their favour. What a very nice friendly couple.
    We gave them information about the southwest and BLM lands they would like to explore. Hope that helps them out, so much to see in North America.

this be our nice large site

    Checked out the laundry room and found out I need to set up an account and pay with credit card . no cash needed.  A cool system we are finding more of these in our travels.

$1;75 wash, $1;50 to dry

    Soon time for supper, Suzie would like fish and chips so I cut up a couple of potatoes,  fried them crispy in our fry daddy, set them in a foil pan with paper towels on our preheated Weber Q to keep warm .

fries stay crispy and warm here

       Then I gave the fryer a few minutes to get back to temperature, and quickly fried the last of our Cod Fish fillets.

that it was it ready for a feast

oh yeah sure hit the spot tonight

    That was our good travel day, parked here for 2 weeks, just because we can and its free. Why Not?
The weather not too bad yet, we will play it by ear.
     Thanks for following along and hope y'all had a wonderful day as well.
