Thursday, 1 June leaving Louisiana going to Arkansas

We woke early enough to say one final ‘bye to L&L and have one final hug!  The sky is grey and drizzle threatening although that's not in the forecast.

Diamond Jacks was a good place to stay, the RV Park is a two minute walk to the casino, a three minute drive across the river to the Boardwalk with it’s outlet shops and tram which runs alongside the shops. The Twin City Express Shuttle Service runs Friday through Sunday - $3 per trip between Bossier City and Shreveport.  Jo-ann, a coloured gal, runs the park with an iron fist, she’s cool but don’t make her come get you like we did by not stopping at the office to check in before going to our spot!  But we ended up best friends!  Only small negative is our site (10) doesn’t pick up the poor WIFI.  It’s reasonably priced though at $25/night.  The laundry was clean and not expensive, $1.25/wash $0.75 per dry.  For the outdoor pool we needed a key card which we got from the main desk.  The pool wasn’t busy and there were lots of loungers to lax back in, the water was clean and cool. Good music was playing and there was a bar attached.


We are headed 160 miles north into Arkansis today, past Texarkana up towards Hot Springs intending to stop at DeGray Lake Resort State Park, near Bismarck.  Hopefully we will have WIFI or at least cell coverage there, otherwise you might not see a more blog for about three days.
