Today we drove from Mobile Alabama where we stayed at the worst campground that we have experienced to a State Park outside of New Orleans Louisiana which is very nice.
Previously,It was a Plantation prior to becoming a State Park.
The campsite, although tight for the COW to fit into are being renovated. They experienced damage during Hurricane Katrina so many of the showers houses are new.
To our surprise this State Park has cabins built on stilts out in the water of Lake Pontchartrain. It has wooden walkways to access the cabins. From these cabins you can fish, see great sunsets, and see the Lake Pontchartrain Causway Bridge going into New Orleans.
I stopped a couple out walking near the cabins. They explained that the cabins have two bedrooms, are $150/night, and are very nice inside. If we come back without the COW, I will be staying in one of these cabins.
By the way, the Lake Pontchartrain Causway Bridge is the largest bridge in the United States built over water. It is 23.875 miles long.
Also, tonight during a ride in the park we saw 3 wild boars, 5 deer, and a possum. Neither Sandy nor I have ever seen a boar before. Wow, they are the size of the biggest pig I have ever seen. They walk around the campground at night digging up the ground. I assume they are eating grubs?? We were warned by other campers that they will attack. Needless to say, we will not be making any runs to the campground bathrooms at night.
We are here for 1 week. I can’t wait to see what the future days will bring.
