hope you don't mind "barging" in to your report Mr. Chet, but we pulled in to St Albans on your advice and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was, we had a nice walk down the river and a nice nights stay, thanks again and we will be there again on our next trip east.

We are proud that you looked for and shared our wonderful night camp at the St Albans, WV "Road Side Park"... especially at the location near the boat launch about half way between highway traffic along US-60 and the barge traffic.

It makes me feel like I have been of service.

Last night we moved to the quietest place in town... The Walmart on Nelson Road and the I-10 By-Pass.

The local youth take over the Lakeside area on the weekends... motor cycles, noisy little cars, and 1/2 ton grocery getter trucks disguised as diesels (over sized exhaust pipe extensions)

There is the beautiful "L Auberge Casino Resort Park" about a 1/4 mile north of us.

We don't gamble or care for trailer parks but we have enjoyed their dumpstation and fresh water supply.

Best of all ... tonight we have a neighbor... I woke up at about 11:30 PM... looked out the window to see a nice looking Apache Truck Camper... I have no idea who... I'd hoped they would still around when we get up in the morning

Yesterday we bought propane... by the gallon... accurate weight at a U-Haul dealer: Guy Lohr, 1011 Hwy 14, Lake Charles, LA 70601 (332-436-5014)... why do I include the who? We seem to find a lot of places that don't give you credit for any propane still in your tanks.

And, I overrode Janets objection and had our laundry done... it worked out great. We have been walking the Lake front trails for exercise... been very busy... and we get pretty tired. The only way it could have worked any better is if we had got them to put them in the storage cabinates and closets.

We ate at "Steam Boat Bills" again yeaterday... OMG, they are good... they are the main reason for all of the exercising. I had a Po Boy crawdad sandwich and a cup of Crawfish Ettouffee.

We are living in the lap of luxury.... Creole and Cajun that is.

We hope that all of you are having a great weekend.
