It rains in New Orleans!

Update - April 16, 2015 - Sam Houston Jones State Park, Lake Charles, LA - Crossed the state of Louisiana today, lots of rice fields.  Arrived to thunderstorms (again!) here in Lake Charles.  Spent yesterday mid-day in the French Quarter in New Orleans.   Here's the waterfront:

Most fun was watching the deer roam the campground.  There were actually 5 in one group this morning.

More flooding pics.

Grilling at our site!

Yesterday afternoon we spent part of the time at the campground beach on Lake Pontchartrain.

Last of the update:  Connie's shower friend:

April 14, 2015 - Fontainebleau State Park, Mandeville, LA - On the banks of Lake Pontchartrain.  Nice little park here, hiking trails, access to the Lake, convenient to the North Shore of the Lake, and only 40 minutes from downtown New Orleans.

Live oaks abound:

But we're on day 3 of rain here.  Local flooding, can't wait to dry out.
