Shut up and drive

On Tuesday evening we found ourselves in Jasper, which
I think is in Texas. On the drive there I got pulled, again!
Apparently I was driving real close to a lorry in front of me.

This is lies, the problem is everyone slams their brakes on
when they see a cop car. Anyway, they were pretty nice and
didn't bother searching us. Lucky, what with all them dead
bodies and heroine stashed in the bathroom.

Our problem is, we look suspicious. Our RV doesn't exactly
blend in. Maybe the cop stops will stop when we're away from
the Mexican border.

We stayed in a state park, right on the edge of a lake. Now,
not only did we have mountain lions and coyotes to contend
with, we had alligators too. Not that we saw any.
It was too dark. Reassuring.

Will built us another fire and we ate jacket potatos and beans
and cheese. It was literally the best food either of us have
ever eaten. Maybe beacuse it was the first hot food we've
been able to make ourselves! Or maybe it just tastes better
if you cook it over a campfire.

After leaving Jasper, we found ourselves in Louisiana on
Wednesday. We headed for Baton Rouge. However, after
arriving in the dark, in the rain, in the hood, we decided to
push on for New Orleans.

So on yesterday evening we got here. Once again, we found
ourselves in the hood. Only this time, it was actually pretty
damed scary. I spazzed out and drove the wrong way down
a busy one-way street. New Orleans is a one way city.
I got beeped, a lot!

We'd planned to sleep in a state park just outside the city,
but we got all freaked out by the area it was in. So, instead
of lovely showers and electricity, we spent another night in
a carpark. Lowes, this time.
