Tue, Nov 3: Movietown RV Park,
Canton, MS, to Fairview-Riverside State Park, Madisonville, LA: An uneventful drive today.
Except that I drove through Jackson, MS. I HATE driving through Jackson.
Stopped at a Love’s truck stop and I got my Big Mac fix at a McDonalds there.
We arrived at Fairview-Riverside by 2:00. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the
site we reserved in the “premier” loop because of flooding. They put us in site
25 and we had a terrible time getting in. There were three trees giving us a
problem, and the paved driveways are so narrow it’s hard to get the wheels
right on the paved part—at least for us. After at least an hour and much
gnashing of teeth, we finally got it in. Then Mike tried the auto level thing
and it got all screwed up. Many phone calls later he finally got it leveled. I
said to just leave it with the front jacks down, but he wouldn’t give up. So I
had a drink, went for a walk, came back and he was still obsessing. Had another
drink. Finally he got it leveled. Walked over to the loop we were supposed to
be in and saw no flooding. I think they told us they were expecting more rain
this weekend, so they had the whole loop closed off. It’s the prettiest loop
because it’s right on the beautiful Tchefuncte (Cha-funk-ta) River. Oh well, we’re
going in to New Orleans for a couple of days anyway. 77 here and cloudy.
