Meaux Canal

Yesterday evening the "big storm" started to hit Galveston...fog, wind, rain, thunder and lightening. Spent time looking up area weather reports, flood warnings and routes into Louisiana. Today we thought about riding out the storm in Galveston but after checking with the park and the Louisiana State Police decided to push through to Palmetto Island State Park. Glad we did, though Randy said he felt like he wrestled a steer driving the coach through rain, fog and WIND for 4.5 hrs.
We crossed a beautiful bridge in Baytown, drove through some historic towns in Louisiana and saw some rice paddie/crayfish farms (note the traps in the second to the last photo)

Beautiful big campsites at Palmetto Island, it was worth the journey.
