Talladega to Shreveport

We left Talladega this morning with the intention of stopping for the night in Monroe, LA at a Passport America campground.  That was the plan, but it didn't work out that way.  The campground had a rally scheduled there for tonight and they only had two sites available.  One was 40ft long and the other was unlevel.  We don't fit on a 40ft site unless we unhook the car and I wasn't about to do that.  

We continued on driving until we got to Shreveport, LA and are camped at the Diamond Jacks casino campground for the night.  Gerry is hurrying up dinner so she can go in and give them some of her hard earned money on the slots.  I may or may not go in since I am a little tired out after driving 500 miles today.  Just a wee bit more than I like to drive in a day.  

I think it will be a little tv and then early to bed for me.  I hope Gerry doesn't wake me when she gets back with the wheelbarrow load of quarters.  I spoke too soon.  Gerry and I both went to the casino and played the slots.  She wound up winning $10 and I lost $10.

The courtesy car driver who brought us back to the RV park was an older woman and in charge of the valets.  She yelled at one of the younger employees to close the door on a truck parked in front of the casino.  She said they couldn't drive a stick shift vehicle and she had to return and park the truck.  I guess there aren't many stick shift vehicles any more.
