We have said it before, you never know where life is going to take you!  Because of the ice storm and no power in other campgrounds we ended up in Marksville, Louisiana, a huge native Casino with RV Park, we had stayed here for one night 4 years ago.  Camping is only 20 bucks, for elec, water ,sewer and a bus comes to your site to drive you to the Casino.  We went for supper, put a few dollar bills in machines and they spit them back out, that was the extent of our gambling, but the buffet was out of this world!  Live alligators in the hotel lobby, along with fish and turtles, four gators about 5 feet long and seven more about two feet long.  Seven restaurants in the Casino!  The Sun was shining today and the temperature was 22 degrees higher that yesterday, still only 53 degrees though! We sat behind the camper out of the wind and it was delightful!
