We just wrapped up two days at the Coushatta Indian Casino in Kinder, Louisiana, and decided to head south since the weather is turning NASTY. We are stopped for the night at Shady Oaks RV Park south of El Campo, Texas, on US59. We have no phone service, nada, zip, zilch. . . so we cannot call anyone.
We did take a little side trip to the Coushatta Indiana Reservation. There is a museum there and the guide there is 1/2 Coushatta and 1/2 Cajun. 
He was a very interesting man and since we were the only ones there, he really talked with us a lot and we learned much about the history of the Indians in the region. His name is Gardner Rose and if you are every there in the area visiting the casino, take a little time and visit this museum. It is free.
We are just here for one night, then headed on south to Corpus Christi. Drove through lots of wind and rain and then I got to do Houston, but it wasn't bad. Had a good navigator.
Till next time. . .

We're on Mustang Island just near Corpus Christi. If you're looking for heat, you just missed it. The temperature went down 25 degrees today!

Cold here also. (Yuma, AZ) Only in the upper 50's during day and last night had a freeze warning, was down to upper 20's. Beats the 40MPH wind we had Wed!!!

I saw your post last night. We live in Victoria, TX, and have been following your site for several months. Maybe we will meet sometime. We are retired, and travel in our MH for 2--3 months at a time.
Stay warm.
