| Rice paddies along interstate 10 Louisiana |
From Lafayette, Louisiana to the Texas border the interstate 10 is bordered with rice fields. They go on for miles. Maybe next time the weather will be a bit warmer and we can stay for a bit longer in Lafayette to see some sites, they have the oldest rice mill in the United States. I never think of rice from Louisiana when I buy it, do you?
Getting through Houston was not too bad about 1:30 in the afternoon, we just stayed on I 10 and counted lanes, always stay in the 2nd or 3rd lane from the left side. The lanes out farther drop off into exits all the way through the city. That might not be too much fun in a motorhome. About 20 miles out of the city core we stopped for the day at
Katy Lake RV Resort. Oddly you had to enter via a very long driveway into a storage lot then veer off to the RV park. It looked wrong so we went by the driveway..... Oh boy. Luckily there was enough room ahead on the street and several turn around lanes that we could pull a u turn. Billy was not a happy camper..... but it turned out ok. Is that where that term comes from???

In the morning when we looked out at the Recreation center there were 3 Police cruisers sitting in front. We wondered what had happened. Snoopy as we are...... we walked up to the clubhouse and found all 3 officers sitting at a table having their morning coffee. Haha ok, it just seemed weird to us seeing 3 cruisers in a campground, we had never seen that before, we thought foul play was at hand for sure. Maybe they live in the RV park? Who knows, we didn't have the nerve to ask after we were disappointed there was no crime scene..... we are so naive.
