BACK AT HOLLY BEACH AND BOY IS IT HOT!

I wanted to sleep next to the Gulf just one more time before the real hot days of summer would prevent doing that.  So this morning I packed up the dogs and food and left the cats at home.  Just going for a week and they do well with lots of food and water and large litter box.

Left Houma around noon and arrived at Holly Beach, LA at 4:30.  Last time I drove here I took the back roads and it took me 5 hours.  I thought I could cut at least an hour off of that time by staying on the interstate till I got to Lake Charles then head south but to my surprise it only cut 30 minutes off my travel time.

I was glad to see that it was windy on the beach so knew I would be able to sleep with the windows open.  I was also very happy to see another camper and parked near it.  Last time I was here was in December and there was no one camping on the beach.  There also seems to be alot of cars here for the day with children playing in the surf.  So far, I feel safe.  This area is pretty isolated and the nearest store is 20 miles away.  There are many camps but not sure if they are occupied at this time.  Don't see many cars at these houses.

The dogs were glad to be on the sand again and sniffed to their little heart's content.  They slept all the way here and were ready to potty.  Even though it was windy it was very hot.  Didn't stay long outside.  Came in and turned the generator on and then the AC.  It was 90 degrees in the coach with the wind blowing in through the open windows and door.  The dogs were panting so hard and looking at me as if to ask, "Hey, what's going on here?"  It took awhile to get the coach cool but it's nice now.

My favorite things to see out my camper door - sand and surf.

I'll run the generator till the sun goes down and then see if I can stand the heat.  I sure do miss winter.  Just love camping when it's cold.
