Tuesday, Driving to Louisiana:

We were up earlier than expected and went to the Flying J to fill up with gas, dump our tanks, and grab a quick bite to eat. We drove all day, and the ride wasn’t bad, but there were not many rest areas or places big enough for us to stop with the camper, the truck, and the boat. Since we are both driving in different vehicles we usually try to stop every hundred miles so we can rest. During one stretch we had to drive 165 miles without finding any place to pull over for a break. We finally made it to Shreveport, Louisiana, and set up our campsite right next to John & Laraine, who’ve been here a few days now. We got Cooper Dog back (he stayed with the Hobbies while we flew home last week,) and boy was he happy to see us. John & Laraine informed us that he likes eggs and sausage for breakfast, Well Cooper…… those days are over!!!! Laraine knew we would be exhausted after flying in so late last night, and then driving all day today, so she had dinner waiting for us, we were extremely thankful. We ate, socialized, then went home early to get some sleep.
