From New Orleans we headed East to Biloxi MS where we spent one night dry camping next to the Grand Casino. Got off to a bad start when setting up as there was a loud bang while putting out the living room slide. Turns out a shear pin on the drive system broke so only one end of the slide was moving. I was able to make a temporary fix with a bolt I had in stock and the next morning with info in hand from researching on the internet I made a trip to Loews and got an appropriate hardened bolt to hold us over until I can get the proper one shipped home. I spent way more time than I wanted under the slide in the course of fixing this problem. The creepy crawler I purchased last summer sure was a blessing as I never could have made it in and out from under that many times without wheels. By the way no luck at three Biloxi Casinos.
The next day Friday we headed to Gulf Shores State park. We have stayed here two times before and it's the nicest State park you would ever find with a super pool:
Great beaches:
Large campsites:
And exotic pets:
The also have a boat launching ramp, golf course, tennis court, basketball court and horseshoe pits and more.
Next we head North to Charlotte NC for service for the motorhome and generator. Should take a couple or three day to do the near 800 miles.
Later............
It is good to see that all is good and you got the slide working it would have been a long rest of the trip if you could not open it. The beach looks great so doss the pool. Drive safe and have fun.
