When we got to Poché Plantation yesterday, there was no room at the inn – in spite of the fact that we had made confirmed reservations at least a month ago!
We were met by the owner who explained that he still had 26 families that had been displaced when the Corps of Engineers opened the flood gates on the Mississippi last month. He offered us a free stay the next time we come through, but I don’t think that’s going to ever happen.
We ended up in Slidell at the New Orleans East Kampground. Campground with a “K” indicates that it was at one time a KOA park. Very nice campground and 80 miles closer to our next stop.
Honey called our next stop yesterday to confirm our reservations. She said the guy there thought she was nuts until she explained what happened yesterday.
