We spent the night at Deisi’s Lucky Capitol truck stop and
casino near Breaux Bridge LA for the night on November 22, 2015. It wasn’t crowded and we had some good food
and got lots of rest. We got an early
start, and yes there was frost on the ground...
but when we got a strange message on the dash, we decided to pull over
and call. It wasn’t a big deal but we
had to straddle a pothole to get out but the back tires couldn’t. The back left tires dipped into the pothole
and Worcestershire sauce fell out of the cabinet onto the floor and
shattered. That took awhile to clean up
knowing that when we opened the slides, there would be more. So we smelled of Worcestershire for a few
days. Things happen.
We had one more hurdle before entering Texas – the bridge over Lake Charles LA. We were toodling down the road over more of Rt 10
when we saw it looming ahead like a roller coaster going up into the sky.
It was too late to exit, but we had to get over it, like it or not. Pictures just don’t show the steep rise and fall. I’m sure in a car it wouldn’t be so scary, but in a 40’ motorhome with a tow car in back, yes it’s scary!
Shortly after, we entered the great state of Texas.
We went through Beaumont TX, home to Janis Joplin, and decided to get through the Houston traffic instead of waiting until the morning rush.
Houston was difficult to get though because of the traffic, but we managed to get through unscathed.
Once we got past Houston, we stopped for the day just
past Katy TX at Loves Truck Stop.

Today
was a stressful day. I didn’t listen to
Peggy and instead followed the GPS so we got lost. It got a little tense but we
finally made it to Guadalupe State Park, got registered, dumped tanks, and set
up. We did eat at a wonderful little
Mexican restaurant not too far away, then collapsed for the day!
