We woke this morning to stronger winds on the mountain than we have experienced to date. Kelly worked for most of the daylight hours inside the trailer rather than at the lovely little gazebo we have over our picnic table due to the wind. Periodically during the day we saw dust storms in the distance moving their way through the valley at our feet. We were extremely thankful that we decided to stay a couple more days in this campground. Driving the rig in this wind would have been downright dangerous. Paul spent his time today working on the blog and cleaning the rig for our move across the country to Louisiana.
We have always wanted to visit New Orleans. Up until this point in our lives we have reserved a New Orleans vacation for a special occasion. Perhaps time or monetary constraints would prevent a long or expensive vacation, we held New Orleans as an easy and affordable vacation destination for just such an occasion. Now that we will be travelling through the area, we have decided to splurge on a nice long visit to the Big Easy. Today we booked 10 nights in an RV park located a mere 6 blocks from the heart of the French Quarter. The old motto holds true: Location, Location, Location. We decided that the location of the RV park in NOLA warrants the hefty cost of $105 – $150 per night. We are tremendously excited.
