We woke up to fog this morning. The campsite was still in water and we were surrounded by fog. Our drive started out where we could see the highway but not much else.
The fog started lifting around Lake Charles where we filled up with gas. Lots of state police along the highway for traffic control. We passed four in the space of about three miles.
Saw lots of houses built on pilings. We crossed the Atchafalaya Swamp. The swamp is the largest swamp in the United States. It is a combination of wetlands and river delta area where the Atchafalaya River and the Gulf of Mexico converge. I think the bridge was 18 miles long because that was the requirement for the trucks to stay in the right lane.
We stopped at the Bass Pro Shop at Denham Springs and bought Paul some new jeans while we there. We have now arrived at Abita Springs RV (across the lake from New Orleans). And the weather is sunny and warm - back into shorts and the AC is on.
Have some Gumbo for me.
