A Doggie View of the US

Here are some additional pictures of the coach for those of you who asked for them. Things coming together as far as setting up the RV for our needs. Installing everything we bought has been relatively easy.

MLA is getting really good at walking the dog and talking with neighbors while I unload, unpack, and install these items. She is, however, always happy to provide input after the fact about me installing something too high, too low or not in the 'right ' place. Oh well.



See the small window in the second picture of the coach? It's at floor level and it's for the driver to look out and see the corner in order to better judge exactly when to begin your turn. MLA told me I'm wrong. Clearly she says, Tiffin installed that small window as a doggie window. She promply put the dogs blanket on the floor and Dobbie the Wonder Dog now has her personal view out of the coach.

Had a late lunch at Morton's today. Another great meal. The shrimp & crab bisque was amazing. Later this week we will try a place on the river Debbie recommended with a comment about 'watch out for the alligators' or some thing to that effect. We'll see.



Louisiana divides itself, at least for tourism purposes, into 5 regions: 1) Sportman's Paradise 2) Crossroads 3) Cajun Country 4) Plantation Country 5) Greater New Orleans.



Tommorrow we head to Plantation Country, which is about 1.5 hours from base camp. There are a number of restored plantations and state historic sites. Plus we'll hit the Rural Life Museum near Baton Rouge which has been authentically reconstructed to show all of the activities on a trypical 19th century working plantation. The complex of buildings supports a 450 acre farm: commissary, overseer's house, kitchen, slave cabins, sick house, school house, blacksmith's shop, sugarhouse & grist mill. Can't wait; see ya!
