Our site (the river in the background)

Tchefuncte (Cha-funk-ta) River

Chelsea--the Irish Wolfhound mix

Belle the Bloodhound

Eagle’s Landing RV Park, Holt, FL, to Fairview-Riverside SP, Mandeville, LA: Left this morning at about 9:30 this morning and arrived at Fairview-Riverside and were set up by 3:30. We made three stops—once for breakfast, once for fuel, and once at a rest area to get something to drink. Saw lots of signs of flooding along I10. Fairview-Riverside is such a pretty park. It was named after the Fairview-Riverside plantation—whose plantation house is on the park property and is available for tours. We’re right on the Tchefuncte (cha-funk-ta) River which is very high right now. The park has a lot of huge, old live oaks and Spanish moss is everywhere. Our neighbors are from St. Louis also. They have two dogs—a bloodhound named Belle and an Irish Wolfhound mix named Chelsea. We’ll get our dog fix for sure. Drove to Mandeville to get some prescriptions filled and then came back and had left-overs for dinner. Supposed to be nasty weather tomorrow. We’ll see.
