Well, first thing this am we made our way to the Falling Waters which were barely more than a trickle but they are the highest waterfall in Florida at 322 ft.-- only because the sink hole beneath it is so deep I think. But it really is a beautiful park and lots of exercise up and down those 320 feet of "mountain" trails.
Headed out about 11 AM and decided we could make it all the way to Cypress Bayou Casino where we had stayed before. It’s about 100 miles west of New Orleans. And we did make it, arriving about 7 PM. The traffic around New Orleans was very congested and slow. There is lots and lots of new development all along from Mobile AL to Biloxi MS and New Orleans so that’s all good. On our last trip through everything still seemed pretty much leveled, post Katrina.
Had dinner at casino. $6.95 for 12 fried shrimp, local stuff with the trimmings. Jack had even more in the shell for the same price. Can’t beat that. They charge $10/night for the rv site, gave each of us a $10 credit to gamble with and I got another $15 for showing up in the month of my birthday.
We are just going to chill tomorrow after all that interstate driving and have dinner at Mr. Lester’s in the casino.
