More from southern Mississippi

5/1

Sunday started with a little sun, very little sun that settled into a gray overcast day.  The good news was there wasn’t any rain predicted till late in the afternoon. We met Bill and Linda who used to have a canoe livery.  They were going on a Ranger led kayak tour of the Bayou but it’d been cancelled due to weather.  While talking about an interesting slide-out topper/awning they had, we also met Debbie. Debbie is traveling in a RoadTrek van and she has a blow-up kayak.  She’d already paddled the bayou but she said she'd join us on a short paddle.  Debbie’s little blow-up kayak was very interesting.   It's a Innova Twist.  Even though it was short it had a skeg and seemed to track good and looked very comfortable.  Here's a picture I got off the internet...

That short paddle turned into a 3 hour trip. The overcast made photography difficult but here’s some pictures…

The severe weather threat had past so we headed for our next destination, Acadiana Campground in Lafayette, Louisiana. 

Some pics from the nature center.

This is a county park and we’ve had good luck with county parks in the past.  It’s an older park, developed back in the 70’s with the bonus of a nature center.  It started as a county park, became a state park and then was returned to the county.

Some of the campsites were flooded along with part
of the nature trail.

Our campsite was on the high side of the park.

We decided to make this a one night stop and pushed on to the great state of  Texas.

Coming soon, Texas!
