March 10 - New Orleans to Morgan City




There was a thick fog hanging in the campground in the morning. Got around and headed to the welding shop. Stopped and got a new bolt and saw a redheaded woodpecker up close and personal. Spray painted the fresh welding and put it all back together.

I took off for Morgan City in southwest Louisiana. Travel was rough on the Louisiana roads. Had some cross winds and just plain old roads through some of the small towns and along the bayou. Saw many houseboats and it is clear that the fishing and oil industries play a huge part in the local economy.

The park is alright with friendly neighbors. I got a fairly tight spot requiring me to back between two trees. The park has a small marina which some house boats are stored in. We walked around and visited the waterfront. There are a ton of birds. Used the AC for a little while in the evening. Took a quick tour of downtown Morgan City and came across several impressive historic homes.
