The Trip

Friends and Family, I have created this blogspot so that everyone who wants to keep up with me during my travels can do so visually and interactively at their leisure. Feel free to make comments. I will try to give periodic updates through posts and and pictures describing where I am in my travels.

Houston: No Problems

Monday I left New Orleans at about 7:30AM. I was passing by this small town called Gonzales Louisiana,  enjoying the scenic views of the beautiful Louisiana Bayous, when low and behold there pops up a Cabela's Outfitters! I SLAM on brakes and stop in just in time for the opening of the store at 9AM. This was no doubt the most surprising site of the trip thus far; I have never been into a Cabela's though I have been looking at Cabela's catalogs since I can remember, so being able to go in this store was like a trip to Mecca of sorts. As I bedazzledly (I made up that word) fumbled around the practically empty Cabela's store for about two hours, I wondered to myself "I wonder how a store makes it out here in the middle of nowhere with no customers." WELL. I realized just how they make it when I went to the cash register....


One of New Orlean's more well-maintained streets (no joke)


A couple "My Size" Catfish at Cabela's 


A Tank of Redfish? Man they know how to get me. 


 A ridiculous wall/mountain of mounted animals 


Even a Polar Bear

 Oh Yeah

 The pinnacle of Baton Rouge's bridge over the Mississippi River 

So yesterday was probably the most difficult driving I've ever had to do in the daytime. Between New Orleans roads with 8:00AM traffic, and Houston's traffic at 5:00PM and hauling a cumbersome travel-trailer... I was glad to get to "All Star RV Resort." I am looking forward to finding road,s with less traffic. (It wasn't quite as bad as driving in Brisbane, in a compact, at night, in the rain, on one-way streets, with no gps or passenger.... on the left side of the road)

A meal of rice and chicken in Houston 


My Houston Home

Last night, I ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant with Gray Millsap and Sean Dauterive, and had drinks afterward. Today I got my first "poo disposal" experience with the camper.... Lets just say that it took me about 15 minutes and I was on my way to Walmart to get RV tank deodorizer.... hahaha (it was about a hair away from my rat/trunk experience).
