Friday the 13th and we are on the Road Again

 

Mike cooked Pork Steaks out on his grill our last night in Tyler.

Were they yummy

This morning we were in low gear and moving real slow. We are moving today but we don’t have to leave until 12:00 noon. So Sherri and I are taking our time and enjoying our coffee and making plans for where we will stay in Shreveport. As soon as I finished my coffee I started looking into places to stay. I started making calls and found out that there was no room at the inn.

Sherri started fixing breakfast and by that time I had decided to stay on the parking lot at Harrah’s Casino. I called Mike and Leslie and told them that we could not find any room at any of the RV Parks. I told them that we would probably boondock and if they wanted to they could join us.

Mike was not in favor of doing that so he and Leslie started doing some research of their own. I had mentioned that Diamond Jacks RV Park had some back ins that they might fit in. Leslie called and found out that they did have one for them so they were going there and stay. We would just drive to Harrah’s and stay there until Sunday when we could get into Diamond Jacks. Mike and Leslie will be leaving for Jackson Mississippi on Monday so they can check in at a service center on Tuesday to have some work done on their RV. While  there in Jackson they would look up the other part of the Dream Team…John and Bridget.

So we all pulled out at noon and headed to Shreveport. The drive there took about an hour and a half. We split up at the Diamond Jacks exit and drove to Harrah’s. About the time we got to Harrah’s Leslie called Sherri and told her that they had some cancellations and that we could get in if we wanted to. OK so we turned around and headed back to Diamond Jacks. We got a back in spot that was just fine and got parked without too much problem. We are backed up to the river and the train track. We got everything set out and unhooked and we were ready to go to the casino and get our free buffet.

First stop after arrival…Where else

Do they look excited?

It did not take any of us too long to play the needed amount of points into the machines to qualify for the free buffet. Sherri had to help me due to the fact that I don’t play enough money to win the points needed. So I am a cheapskate. I got my free buffet and that is all that counts.

We had a lot of fun and we all walked away with their money. We will all be able to play tomorrow and that is a plus. We are planning on going to some other casinos tomorrow and see if we can stretch our luck…
