The Big Chill

We continue eastward.

Yesterday we departed Houston early due to a cold front that was moving

southward with high winds.  I wanted to get as far east as possible before the high

winds from the north created a cross wind and make driving more difficult.

We made it into Fountainebleu State Park about an hour before the cold

front and the winds hit in earnest.

We stayed here last spring when we visited New Orleans and found it was a

convenient stop along our eastward route.

The campsites were decorated with this whole Halloween thing.

Our main reason for the stop however was to make a return to Saia's Meat Market to pick

up more Boudin.

The link above will explain what it is, but not how delicious it is.

Our freezer in the Dog House is now filled with 18lbs that we purchased yesterday and

asked them to put into their freezer for us.

We stopped by this am at 0800 just as they opened...  I filled up our

freezer with these frozen yummies and we hit the road.

Kate gives the thumbs up of a mission accomplished.

Last night the winds howled and the temps dropped below freezing.

We were snug and comfy in the Dog House.

This morning dawned cold and frosty and I had only packed shorts for the trip

home so while everyone was bundled up in winter clothes I'm running

around in shorts and t shirts....  I must have been a sight!

We fought the cross winds today and moved another 350 miles east and now

are on the shore of Lake Seminole near Chattahoochie, Fl.

This is a great Army Corp Campground - we stayed here last spring and

have added it to our go to list for a great place to overnight.

Kate made a nice campfire and we warmed by the fire and had a couple of brews.

Then just as the sun was getting low in the sky it was time to take the doods for a walk

before dinner.

There are only a few other campers here so its nice and peaceful.

Tomorrow we head to Charleston, SC.

We are going to stay at James Island County Park.

We stayed there when we traded the old Cougar for the Monty.

They are having their annual festival of lights right now so it should be an

interesting and beautiful evening.

I've also found what is supposed to be one of the best barbecue places in

the US that is located in Charleston so we are planning on stopping and getting some

carryout on the way to our park. 

I'll let you know our culinary opinion once consumed.
