Paragon Casino!

We left Gary and Jo's yesterday morning and drove up to Marksville, Louisiana. We weren't sure what kind of weather we were going to run into, because the predictions including storms. Since they ran from the Gulf Coast up through the Ohio Valley, there wasn't a way to escape it, so we got here and hunkered down for the big event. Boy did it rain. The wind blew, lots of thunder and lightning. We ended up staying in the motorhome until the worst was over so the dogs wouldn't get scared.

After we got up here, the boyz both got baths. Neal was less than excited about that, but Bailey thought it was pretty cool. We are at about the nicest campground we have been to. The streets are all paved as well as the sites and we have full hookups. The sites are level with concrete picnic tables. Very comfortable, easy to set up, etc. The best part is that it is a Passport America park, so we are camping for about $6.42 a night! They have little light switches on the post and you flip that on and the casino bus will come to your site and pick you up. Hah! How's that for service.


Last night after the storm subsided, we hopped on the bus and went to the casino. Terry won $52 at his first machine, so we went and ate prime rib dinner in their restaurant. Then we hit some other machines and he won another $26. I didn't do any good, but I get good at playing my $1. . . it kept me entertained for quite a while.

We are staying here for another night before rolling toward Texas.

Till next time. . .
