Abita Springs, LA

We made the looooong 94 mile trip from Biloxi today after stopping by Jody & Renato's place to pick up our dry laundry, a quick McDonald's breakfast stop & trying to fill the trucks tank. The BP station was out of diesel but we have plenty left in the auxiliary tank. My 27 year old Harley belt buckle has finally had it so we stopped at a Harley dealer for a new one, didn't like any and one possibility was made in China.

We went back to the park & packed up, left at 10:30 and arrived in Abita Springs at 12:30. It's a free ROD park so we ended up with 30a and water site, no sewer so we'll not stay a full week as the shower holding tank will be full. I never thought we'd get a satellite signal through the trees but Judy was optimistic and guess what......a perfect signal!

Free, Free, Free at last!

We left Gulf Shores Friday morning for the 115 mile trip to Biloxi. We returned to Foxes RV Park where we stayed last fall when visiting Jody & Renato. We had a little surprise when we arrived as two slides didn't want to work right when we set up. We got them to work without much trouble but will have to keep an eye on them as something is not right. We went over to see Jody & Renato which was great, then went to their favorite Japanese restaurant. Saturday Jody & Judy went to Mobile for hair "styling". When they returned we all went out for for lunch. We sat outside with the beach & gulf behind us. We went by the clinic where she works as you can see. That night we all went to a Mississippi Surge hockey game at the coliseum. It was quite enjoyable listening to rednecks at a hockey game in flip flops. One interesting item is when two players fight the refs allow them to remove their gloves & helmets, go to center ice and fist fight. When one falls down they both go the the penalty box. Wish I would have gotten a video. Sunday Jody & Renato rode their bikes over (3 miles) and washed the HitchHiker AND truck. THANK YOU!!!!! We then went to Newks as we were all starving. Afterwords we went to see the movie 21 Jump Street before saying our goodbyes as they return to work Monday & we head west to Abita Springs, LA.
