Happy Fat Tuesday, Happy Super Mardi Gras!
Today is what's everybody's waiting for the Super Mardi Gras Parade. It's an all day parade but we're only staying on the 2 parades,the Zulu parade and Rex, the king of Carnival parade. The 2 parade lasted till 2:30 pm and there's 3 more parades to follow but we didn't stay on the last 3. The las 3 parades were the "truck floats", the Krewe of Elks and the Orleanians and Crescent City parade. It's exhausting and they were very long. I think after the previous parades that we attended we were all parade out and beaded out. Back to the camp at 2:30 pm, rested and got ready for our Gunbo dinner cooked by Greg Bruce at the Arena. Also had salad, bread and root beer floats for desert.
After a good Gumbo dinner the organization presented informations for the forthcoming rally of RV Fantasy Tour.

Last day of the rally. Fantasy staff provided coffee and doughnuts till 9:00 am.Everybody said good by and there are some that still stayed for a continuation of the tour which is the Cajun Tour. We left at 9:30 am headed for Meridian, Mississippi.
On the way to Mississippi we stopped at the Welcome office. The people were very nice and helpful. They also provided us some coffee and King cake
The only KOA in Mississippi was our destination.Was quite a waste from the interstate. When we got there the place didn't look but we checked in anyway. We were supposed to stay 5 days in Meridian before heading to Red Bay, Alabama. When we got to our space Earl had a hard time putting the leveler so we decided not to stay besides the mud was so thick and afraid that we might got stuck. we checked out and got our money back. She wasn't very happy but that's the worst KOA we ever encountered in our traveling. Got out and looked for an RV Park in Meridian. We found the Bonita Lake RV park and stayed there for 1 night. After looking at the map I told Earl to go to Tupelo, Mississippi before Red Bay. Tupelo is an hour drive from Meridian and it's less than an hour drive to Red Bay. We stayed at the Barnes Crossing Campground in Tupelo. It was a nice park and we're glad we moved on instead of staying in Meridian. By the time we settled in it was already late in the afternoon. The RV and the tow car were full of mud especially under the tires.
