We awoke in the morning to more howling wind and pounding surf. I have always wanted to have a campsite right on the beach, but now that I have done it, I won't be doing it again. The wind was incessant, and last night it reached a peak, buffeting the trailer all night. On top of everything else it started raining. At least it waited until we got the trailer all packed up and on the road. There was no line up at the ferry and it was an interesting crossing.
With the surf pounding, like it was, when we left our campsite. We wondered if we would notice it on the ferry crossing. We did. It was like the feeling of a van being buffeted by a cross wind on the highway. You could only just barely feel it. We have all been on boats in way worse conditions.
The crossing only took 13 minutes on top of the loading and unloading.
The rain finally stopped as we drove off
of the ferry and we drove the rest of the way in overcast but dry weather.
That is until we got to our new campsite. As soon as we were driving in, the skies opened up. And it started to pour. I got drenched walking Sea-enna and Dan got drenched setting up the trailer.
But here we are settled in at Lake Charles State Park. A very wild and pretty natural setting. We had a couple of deer right next to our trailer this evening, no camera ready though. Above all it is peaceful and quiet, all we hear is the pidder, padder of the rain on the roof.
