Let’s Eat – Tacky Jacks – Gulf Shores
Tacky Jacks has three locations in the Gulf Shores area. It is located along the Intracostal Waterway. We ordered the Mexican Nachos.
Gulf Coast Gator Ranch, Moss Point, MS
There was one wild 8 foot alligator who hangs out just across the fence from the ones in the ranch. I think they are planning a jail break. It is possible he was one who escaped during hurricane Katrina.
Silver Slipper Casino RV Park Bay St Louis, MS
From our campsite, we had an incredible view of Bay St Louis and the white Sand Beach right across the road. The casino is about 1/2 mile from the RV park and there is a very nice wide sidewalk between the road and the beach to walk on.
New Orleans – Mardi Gras
We headed into New Orleans on the Friday before Fat Tuesday. We visited the French Quarter then Bourbon Street and finally headed uptown for the Krew of Muses parade.
Fontainebleau State Park, Mandeville, LA
The flora and fauna in Fontainebleau State Park are abundant. I went on a late-night walk one night and saw a raccoon, and 30+ deer’s eyes reflecting in my light. We also saw an otter in Lake Pontchartrain and several alligators in the “alligator pond” right behind the kid’s water playground in the picture above. One of our neighbors saw a sounder of hogs.
New Homepage Map
I have added a new map to our homepage. In addition to our “States” map, we now have a “campgrounds visited” map. Now you can check out the RV parks, Harvest Hosts, and other places we’ve camped at if you happen to be looking for campgrounds in a certain area. It is an interactive map, if you click on the pin’s, it will tell you more about that location.
Boondocking at Bass Pro Shops, Denham Springs, LA
We spent 2 nights boondocking at Bass Pro Shops in Denham Springs, Louisiana. It’s a beautiful Bass Pro Shops and all the people working there were very nice. They have a nice lake between highway 12 and the Bass Pro Shops that they test boat motors in.
Catfish Heaven Aquafarm And Campground, St. Martinville, LA
o the 1st day there the owner told me to watch for the alligator in the back pond. He said I was probably OK, it’s been so cold and rainy he wouldn’t be on the bank sunning himself. I halfway thought he was just pulling my leg, but he insisted the gator had been hanging around in one corner of the pond, and they had been trying to catch him and take him to the bayou.
To catch him, I just threw the treble hook past him, reeled it up to him and snagged him. I hooked him and Sherry called Dave, but he got off and I actually hooked him 2 more times before I got him hooked good. I had to fight him for what seemed like 1/2 hour, but I’m sure it was just several minutes until Dave and his helper Jimmy showed up with a catchpole.
Poche’s Rv Park & Fish-N-Camp, Breaux Bridge, LA
As my friends and family know, I love to fish. While we were at Poche’s RV Park & Fish-N-Camp we had a pond about 10 yards from our back deck, a pond about 50 yards out the front of our RV, and a pond about 30 yards from the side of our RV. In total there are 5 ponds at Poche’s. They are stocked with bass, bream, sac-a-lait, and catfish. For my friends and family from IL, bream = bluegill, sac-a-lait = crappie.
Let’s Eat – Lake Charles, Louisianna
In Louisiana where we boondocked at a harvest host. We stayed at the Crying Eagle Brewing Company.
