Vacation/Evacuation?


Our first stay at an RV park was during our trip to get home to New Orleans. Since we were already out of town, we did not have the luxury of evacuating. This first review is brief.
September 10, 2005 - Shallow Creek RV park and golf course, Kilgore, TX
Clean and well-lit. Didn't notice anyone near our age group.

Safety first! On September 11th, were were getting vaccinations at West Jefferson Hospital: Hepatitus A & B, Tetanus and Diptheria to prepare to enter our neighborhood where there was still standing muck-water. This is the end of our trailer travels for 2005.
For the next few months we parked the RV in: Luling, LA, Metairie, LA, Audubon Park for the Voodoo Music Experience, Fern St. - Uptown and Palmyra St. - Mid City, New Orleans, LA.
The house was without electricity for five months in New Orleans. Running on a Honda eu3000is generator ( did not fail once) for air conditioning and a 205 watt solar panel with two interstate rv /marine batteries for low use days. 2 adults, 2 dogs, 1 cat = No couch-surfing.
After a long season of rebuilding, we took the travel trailer out across country for what it was intended! Our initial trip of 2006, we attended Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN. Traveled from New Orleans to Maine to Colorado and back to New Orleans via Austin City Limits Music Festival.
