Marksville, LA

We've been in Marksville now since Friday. Making it five nights for us. As you can see I've been trying to make up for lost time! We've struggled with our internet access...well, maybe 'struggle' isn't the right word. My naivete with this new technology just extends or exaggerates any problem we have. We've blamed our "satellite degradation" on weather in Maryland, but caved in today and called them to see if that was true. It wasn't. We were having a different problem. Nothing a little firmware update couldn't fix (in 15 minutes). Now I'm kicking myself for wasting all this time with in/out internet. Oh, well, we live and learn.

Funny enough, we're staying here at the Paragon Casino RV Park & Resort...and we haven't even been to the casino! And we're leaving in the morning. We've been busy...cleaning the RV, washing and waxing both the RV and the car, and I had to re-string one of the day/night shades in the RV. All of this takes quite a bit of time so it feels great to get it all done.

We've met a few locals during this stay, and most seem genuinely surprised that we've stopped in Louisiana. One gentleman asked Andy why we stopped to visit the area, and Andy's response? "It's in our way." Ok, so maybe that didn't win any friends! Just another classic-Andy comment....
