We left Friday for Vidalia, LA. Our local Good Sam Chapter was meeting there at River View RV Park. When we got there we already had three rigs from our chapter there. The park is right on the Mississippi River. Tug boats can be heard in the background as they labor under the load of barges that push up or down river. It was hot!! The temperature was in the mid 90s and you could cut 
the humidity with a knife!
After setting up, most of us went
inside to soak up some AC. Several of us went to a nice restaurant, the Sandbar, at the foot of the bridge going to Natchez, MS. Barb and I had a great Cajun steak with grilled shrimp. We later went to the park's "club house" to set up so we could play games and just visit. Attendance was low this weekend, only six rigs, with several recovering from surgery and four couples exploring the Maritime Provinces.
Along the levee to the east of the RV park is a great walking trail with a super view of the "Big Muddy". North of the park is a visitors center that gives information on the local area. We didn't have time to check it out but several said it was worth the time to stop there.
The friendly campground host and his furry companion stopped by to say hello!
The tugs were busy moving goods up and down the river. The solo tug either has the day off or
is hurrying for another load 
of barges.
