2-23-11 Westlake Louisiana Sam Houston Jones State Park

We left Texas and crossed into Louisiana about noon today. Arrived in Sam Houston Jones State Park just North of Westlake LA at 1PM..It's wierd going from state to state, one wants checks and the next one doesn't..some welcome debit cards and...ya know..some honor the National Senior Pass and some don't..others give a discount to veterans and some don't..Ya gotta love diversification. (grin) Got another hour for happy hour, hmmmm, how to speed it up !! Hooked up the rig and got the bikes off the rack and explored the park and gathered some fire wood ( wouldn't let us do that in Texas Parks ) . It's beautiful !! Our site is about 100 steps to a bridge over the swamp and the rig is 60' from the water..Happy hour was upon us quickly so we met some neighbors from Florida and fed some squirrels nuts and put out some birdseed ( how do they find this stuff so fast? ) , started a campfire.. The weather is perfect for this, got up to 78F today ( ran the AC for awhile) and evening stayed comfy..started to hear frogs just before coming in and settleing down for the night..I asked Heather if she'd heard any alligators yet and suddenly she said it was time to go in ...HA-HA...We'll be here til Sunday A.M. and then move to ???? Hope all our friends are enjoying life like we are...so until next blog, REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY...Charlie & Heather
