Heading back
Several campers have left and others are packing and getting ready. Decided to pack up and try to head back today. Hopefully they will let us back into Louisiana. I know that some parish's are not allowing the residents back in yet but my area wasn't suppose to be hit to badly.
The park I'm at is not going to open until tomorrow so have no where to return to. We will either park at Wal-mart or where ever we can find a spot for now. I'm hoping the campground is open to those of us who left it. Before leaving the owner said that everyone could return as soon as the storm was over. Guess only one way to find out ....
There are areas that are still having severe weather and praying not to be caught into any of it. Please pray for a safe return and I'm not sure how long i will be offline. I will let you all know as soon as i can.
Update ....... Pulled out of the park around 10.30 am and arrived back to destination around 7 pm. It's been a long and crazy drive. Saw some really bad wrecks. Were almost involved in a couple. It was raining so hard and wind blowing that everyone was going slow in bumper to bumper traffic and a stupid semi-driver comes flying up the interstate and about takes out a pick up truck. Luckily saw him coming up beside Ms. Southwind and slowed down and the semi-turned his truck side ways to keep from hitting the truck.
Then a lady coming off a exit decides that she is going to make traffic get over and let her out, so she speeds up beside and starts coming in our lane and the lane next to us has a car in it and we had no where to go. The semi behind us almost rolled his truck trying to get out of her way. It's amazing how stupid some people are when they get behind a wheel. The don't care that the weather is bad or traffic is bumper to bumper. You couldn't get off any of the exits as they were long lines of people getting off. All could do was take time and drive slow and watch out for the idiots.

Had a convoy of campers heading back. Several in front, there were more ahead of these, but they were out of view in this picture. There were also some behind.
The dogs were comfy in their favorite riding spots. Don't these dogs look stressed living this lifestyle?Am now safe and one piece and parked back in same space. Exhausted from stress. It's been a long 4 days!!
I took a few pictures when i wasn't clamping my fingers to the dash. I will try to post them tomorrow when i'm not too tired.
Take care .... until later ...........
