February 27, 2007 Boy I'm getting lazy at writing my blog, at least I'm not as bad as my nephew, Spanky, he hasn't updated his blog in over a month.
We are now in Biloxi Mississippi staying at a trailer park called Martin Lake Resort. The park is small, the lake is nice looking but most of the people here live here. This is one of the real trailer trash parks, thank goodness we won't be here long. Let's see, we have been in a few different places since I last wrote so I have some catching up to do.
We left Lake Medina, Lake Hills Texas, on Friday the 23rd and headed for Houston Texas. We stopped in Houston at the Johnson Space Center and took the tour they offer to show you the space shuttle and command center. It was interesting to see and hear about what the astronauts go thru in their training. After that we got back on the road and stopped for the night at the Delta Downs Race Track & Casino in Venton, Louisiana. We parked right outside the race track, which we didn't know at the time that they would leave the bright lights on all night long. Dave and I went in the casino for dinner but what was interesting is that in Louisiana the casinos are blocked off so you have to go thru a security check and prove you are 21 yrs old to go into the gambling part. The Harris Casino in New Orleans has like 10 glass doors in front to enter by but all the handles have been taken off of them except for 2 which when you go in the security check is right there, very interesting. Anyway, we stayed one night at the casino then on Saturday morning we headed for Robert Louisiana for a couple days. We got to Jellystone Park, yes Jellystone, Yogi Bear's Camp-Resort, so needless to say this was a Family/Kids campground. I was hoping to get in the adult section but there wasn't any, oh well. They had lots of lakes, pools, ponds, basketball courts, baseball, horseshoes, volleyball, mini golf, pop hut, yogi's cafe, rec. center and The Yogi Dome. Very large and pretty nice RV park, they even had a section called the Condo Village, which is private property but it's all trailers. I'm talking about 5th wheel trailers with car ports over the top of them. I got some pictures, will post them later, but these people were real trailer trash too. We were only staying in Louisiana until Monday so we could go into New Orleans and see for ourselves the destruction that Katrina caused. Saturday after getting settled into Yogi's camp we met our next door neighbors then there went the rest of the day. Really nice folks and we ended up hanging with them and a couple of their friends until late at night. It was Randy, Suzi and Mark and Sue. I'm going to stop here now and post more tomorrow, it's getting late here and I have a lot more to say.
