On to Louisiana

Very interesting how different the geography is in the different parts of this country.  We now totally understand how the gulf coast suffered so much during Hurricane Katrina.  Most of the ground within a mile of the coast line appears to be as they say in Charleston, "low country", which means lower than sea level. There is such much water that it can't soak in.  So many bogs, swamps, marshes, etc and then they build on it and wonder why a storm takes it all away. I tried taking a bunch of pictures around the Baton Rouge area where there are lots of "hardwood swamps", in other words, dead trees standing in water, but all I got was reflection out the windows, darn !

We are camping at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Look who practically greeted us..  Ken just opened the door and sat on the steps.  She walked right up to him.  Huuuummm  wonder if someone has been feeding her. 


 We just saw another camper out walking with their small dog, just walk up and pet this deer.  Guess she is not afraid of humans.
















This is in the park.


On to Texas tomorrow...



huuummm, totally dark here already and it is only 3:45pm.
