Port Allen, LA

Today we made another short 3 hour drive to Port Allen, LA. It's just across the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge, LA. Lots of oil refineries & sugar cane around here. We spent the afternoon doing lots of nothing. Patches is becoming something of a night critter, loves going out after dark and a lazy stroll on her leash.

Gulf shore in LA

We took a ride down to the gulf to see what it looks like, not as nice like the wide white sands of Biloxi or Gulf Shores. Not nuch down here, if you work here it's either in the oil or fishing industry. We did take a nice 5 minute ferry ride for a buck as there was no bridge crossing one river.

Lake Charles , LA

We made the short 3 hour trip to a very nice small (8 sites) parish park called White Oak Park on the Calcasieu River outside lake Charles, LA. We will hole up here a R&R a few days from the HHAI rally we just left, alone time. The two water pictures were taken from the dock at the park. It's a busy boat launch, lots of fishing going on.

Rally's over & time to move on

Here's another picture of happy hour Friday night. We continued Saturday & Sunday nights too. Let me introduce you to Tank, he's a very cute character and he knows it too.

In the morning we are off to Lousiana for thr Angola State Prison Rodeo this Sunday. It's an easy two day trip so we'll be doing some exploring somewhere on the way.
