New Orleans West KOA

Visitors this morning as we sat outside.  They stayed until we got ready to leave.  Picture of swamp.

Another view of the swamp and the bridge going over it.  The bridge was built in or over the swamp and is 18 miles long.

Nice kampground.  Great pads so there is no leveling involved.  It is quite large and surrounded by thick green grass.

Another pic of our camper and the apple tree that is beside us.

Sunset.


The day started great.  It was cool enough to sit outside.  Only in the low 80's still humid but a nice breeze blowing.  We watched the turtles "climb" the fallen tree.  Just a FYI the highest elevation in Louisiana is around 500 feet with the average around 90.  We were below sea level a couple of times.  The area is lush green almost tropical.  We drove through a thunder storm with teeming rain for a good part of the drive.  Crossed the Mississippi River again and over Lake Pontchartrain.  Nothing too exciting today, had to do a Wal Mart run to get food.  We will be staying here until Friday morning.  Had planned on only three days but there was a deal to get a free night with three so we took it.
Internet is marginal at best.  Not sure if it is just a hot spot or if it keeps going in and out whatever the issue it is very annoying.  Hope all the pics publish.  Tomorrow....
