Cajun RV Park -3-18-19

On Sunday we walked the beach,then came back to camp,took truck to downtown area and walked to Hard Rock Casino and Lighthouse,which was closed . Monday took our bikes and went back alone beach street ,early enough to enable us to climb the 57 steps inside the Lighthouse .The hours are only between 9-930 because of the cast iron shell gets soo hot as to be a health hazard.Continuing on our bikes we toured the Historical parts of downtown that were heavily damaged and now restored or torn down. Took a coffee break at Mary Mahoney's French Restaurant and had pecan pie with a cup of coffee. When we returned to camp site we had been gone for 4 hours. Tired,cleaned up and planned to have supper at highly recommended -renovated Half Shell Oyster House and Bar. Yes, Carl had more Oysters..Yummm.
On Tuesday leaving Cajun RV winds had picked up and was blowing the sand from the man-made beach across Route 90. Reminding us of the blowing and drifting snow back in Maine. They dredge off the edge of beach pumping sand back on to the beach and then front end loaders leavel it off. Front end loaders also used on the streets with their buckets down and scooping up the sand drifts from the road ways.Then load into dump trucks ,like snow removal in Maine,and dump back onto the beach,to be blown away again. We have no paint left on left sides of truck or trailer as result of sand blasting.
