Yes this was an early morning wake up so we could get ready to travel north to Marksville Louisiana. I got up about 6:00 am and got me a quick shower…why I have no idea…I had to start packing our gear away so we could take off this morning. The humidity was so high that as soon as I started getting things put up I broke into a sweat that soaked my clothes.
I had dumped the night before and put away the sewer hose the satellite dish and the extra water hose. Pretty much was already done so that we could suck the slides in this morning and be ready to go by 7:00 am. Everything went off as planned and we were in fact on the road by 7:00. We only had about an hour and a half drive this morning to Marksville and the traffic should be light.
In fact the traffic was light and we had no problems getting on I-49. We were soon up to speed… cruise control set and we sat back for the ride north. The Interstate is a fairly good road from Lafayette all the way to Shreveport. Not much in the way of rest areas…only one to be exact and that is just out of Opelousas about 25 miles on the right going north. This is a great place to pull in and relax for a spell and the last place between Lafayette and Shreveport. We did not need this stop, however, and were soon exiting on exit 46 to Bunkie. We took Hwy 515 from there on into Marksville and were soon pulling into the Casino RV Resort.
This is a Pass Port America Campground and with the discount we will pay $11.00 a night for two nights here. We were assigned sight number 6 which is right at the entrance to the grounds and a good location for catching the shuttle. Oh yes we were going to be headed over to the Casino as soon as the rig was secured in the sight and we had bathed and changed into some clean clothes. Speaking of which we do need to do a load of laundry while we are here. Well we will do that after we give some of our money away inside and get some grub from the buffet.
We spent about 5 hours gambling and eating and found ourselves ready to get back to the RV as soon as we gave them the last little bit of money we had left. We caught the shuttle and headed home. Upon arrival Sherri started putting things away and I kicked back in the recliner for a short power nap.
Later this evening we have to make our Wally World run and then get back to see if we can chat tonight. I missed chatting last night because of our late return from exploring.
I’ll try out the signal on my Air Card later and see if we can chat…until then we will be here…

It sounds like you have to have your Waly World fixes every so often as we do. We have one of those Atlas books from Sam's Club that lists all of the Wally World and Sam's Club locations in the US. Sometimes I think my wife is dead set on making a to every one of them. :)
We sure miss you in chat! It's just not the same without you. We're getting a bunch of new people and several people from the past are coming in. I'm glad you're having fun though.
Joe, send me some of your money and you won't have to stay in the casino as long :)
Now as I was trying to figure out why there was such a mad dash in the AM for you to get going, I kept reading. Ahhhh.....the slots were calling your name! LOL
Could you pick up a little of the money I left there at the Casino?

There you go again - making us jealous! That's okay - we are again counting the days.
