This time it was Mother Nature that interfered with my plans for the day. I was all set to head out this morning for Louisiana, but along about 6:30 this morning the winds really began to blow again. They certainly weren’t as bad as the Thursday before Christmas, but as I took Emma for her first outs my hair was blowin’ in the wind! When the winds are near 30 mph, I don’t drive the rig. It’s as simple as that.
So, I ate the bologna sandwich for breakfast that I had prepared for lunch on the road, and stayed in the almost ready-to-roll mode until noon just in case the winds died after the front passed through. They didn’t, so I’m here for another night. In the afternoon I called the state park to inform them that I wouldn’t get there today, but my plan was to arrive there tomorrow. I don’t want them renting out the site I had reserved because of a no show.
Upon reading some reviews about Lake Fausse Pointe State Park, I found out that there is little to no cell phone reception. That probably means my air card won’t work either, so I may not post again until I get to Mississippi on Thursday. EEK! It’s been a long time since I haven’t had internet connections… almost five years as near as I can figure. I’ll try to survive.
Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later, Judy

Gee, sure will miss your posts! We are also under a wind advisory here in Indiana. I can't wait to get out of here. We were out in the rig this afternoon and it was rocking all over the place! Could almost get seasick.... well a wee tiny bit of exaggeration.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I applaud your wise decision to not drive in the wind. I for the life of me don't understand the folks that push on in the wind when they don't have to.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels Miss Judy.
ReplyDeleteWind. *shudder* Yeah, stay put through that.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have internet for the past four days, and after I detoxed it was okay.
Sorry, that was me. Roxanne.
ReplyDeleteStay safe whatever you do. You're smart not to drive in the wind.
ReplyDeleteThey don't call them "land yachts" for nothing.
ReplyDeleteHere is hoping the weather lets you get out of Dodge :)
ReplyDeleteLove your flexability - balony for breakfast!! Yesirree!!
ReplyDeleteWindy is something I avoid too. I don't even drive in the rain.

As "they" say, better safe than sorry. Glad you stayed put.
ReplyDeleteWe don't go in the wind either. Just not worth it. But I do hope you get to go tomorrow. And we'll miss you until you return to us. Have a great Murphy-free year.
ReplyDeleteStaying safe is the key; wise decision not to drive in the wind.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Judy and Emma!
ReplyDeleteGood choice to stay put I hate driving in wind even in my car, never mind the rig.
Don't let that wind blow Murphy back your way!
ReplyDeleteLife does go on without internet, although most of us don't want to experience it.
ReplyDeleteHope the wind dies down tomorrow and your hair stays in place!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you stay "connected", Judy. We'll look forward to hearing from you whenever you can, at any rate. Sorry for the wind, but glad you chose not to drive with it that way. Good decision. Take care, and we'll look for some new photos of Cajun food!
ReplyDeleteI don't like my hair getting mussed either! A good reason to stay put! But bologna for breakfast.... you still could have had it for lunch!
ReplyDeleteHope tomorrow's a go!
I would have done the same. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteSmart to stay put ... keeping fingers crossed for connectivity.
ReplyDeleteWe are with you on the wind. Don't like driving in it at all. Safe travels
ReplyDeleteFunny ~ no connections and we freak out... or at least I do!!! LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteTravel safe
Donna
Travel safe and I hope we hear from you soon!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we've gotten so used to cell phones and WiFi. I feel completely lost without either or both.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, friend!
