On the Road from Texas to Germany day 1 and 2

We left Schertz about 6am. Tom made me help him disconnect the camper in the freezing dark. What's up with that? We drove to Baytown, Texas where we had some excitement added to our trip. We stopped for fuel and at the truck stop we saw a drug bust. What did we see but a brand new 18 wheeler on the side of the road with cops everywhere? We had to wait for the cop to direct us around the truck and I thought it was a truck that dumped bread on the side, but not so. It was bundles and bundles of drugs. Looked like something on CSI Miami. Tom said it looked like a million dollars of drugs on the side of the road. Some drug lord is not happy about that, I’m sure.
About 3pm we arrived at Kinder Louisiana Casino RV Park. Not only did we have a free RV site, we also got steak dinners on the house. We spent a few hours playing slots. Ended up about $200 ahead. Not a bad night.
On Day 2 we left the RV Park about 7am. This time we disconnected the camper in daylight. Before we got out of Louisiana, we saw another “cop” fest. There were about 6 cops cars surrounding a SUV. Maybe another drug bust? Who knows? Since Tom didn’t want to drive straight through, we decided to stay in Milton Florida. I had to call Missy and have her find the phone number of a RV Park on the internet. We made good time and arrived about 4pm. What did we do before cell phones and the internet?
Tomorrow we’ll drive the rest of the way to Jacksonville and see the kids. I’m sure I’ll have more to tell you about the grandkids, and maybe some photos too.
Not sure if we'll have internet at the next RV Park, since it's a state park, I don't expect they will have WI FI.
