Holt Florida to Slidell Louisiana

Thursday the 11th

Yup, It got cold last night, not freezing but in the low 30's. No rain, just clouds. Since we all got up early it wasn't long before we were able to clear camp and head for the freeway. Simple drive toady, I-10 from Holt Florida, across Alabama, into and across Mississippi and into Louisiana where we exited for our stop at New Orleans East Campground in Slidell.

We made only one stop for fuel and arrived by noon. Once we registered and got set up the clouds started to leak as we were pelted by a steady sleet. Hmmmmm, there's a rhyme there somewhere. Oh well, we're all buttoned up, the furnaces are set and Tina is making Gumbo for dinner, Yummmm!!

Since we know tonight's forecast for Slidell is for the low thirties but not freezing we shouldn't have any trouble getting out of here tomorrow. Since we don't have any cable and our antenna doesn't seem to be bringing in any channels we'll watch a movie or two and maybe play some cribbage.
