A couple days later, and we are nearing our Missouri destination (where we will pick up the new 5th wheel). Our weather has been lovely, but Hurricane Gustav has had an impact along our route - motels and campgrounds have been full with the folks evacuating the Gulf Coast.
Seems that the hurricane preparations in New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana have paid off - Gustav came ashore SW of New Orleans, but with a bit less punch than first feared. The mass evacuations kept a lot of people out of harm's way. In another day, we'll get a look at what the storm damage is. The weather weasels seemed to be salivating over this one, with the hopes of a "scoop" on the havoc... hopefully, they will continue to be disappointed.
At this point, it still isn't a done deal, but the hurricane has lost a lot of power as it moves further inland.
