Late last night I was finishing my post and as I was sending it, the internet connection crashed. Someone immediately commented...'That's the problem with hurricanes.' Spoken like a true veteran.
Camp Slidell. What an amazing place. Anywhere from 35-45 people milling about, coming and going to work sites, bringing supplies, taking supplies. There's an outdoor washeteria, 9 washing machines and 11 dryers, with 2 long tables down the middle of it for folding clothes, all covered by a white tent. 4 showers, 4 bathrooms, enclosed completely. Man, someone around here is one amzaing carpenter!
RV's, fifth wheels, tent trailers, campers, huge family tents, small 2 man tents. It's just like a regular KOA. (minus the swimming pool, unless of course you count Lake Pontrachain...)
The tool shed is a piece of work. Work gloves, shovels, hammers, power tools, chainsaws, ropes, hooks, wheelbarrows, you name it, they've got it. Even have two bobcats and a flatbed trailer. Pretty much Mike Crowley's dream set up! Who needs Home Depot?
And for those of you who attended church at Davis Park yesterday morning...I understand there's an ugly rumor floating around that Buddy and I didn't know how to get to the site here in Slidell. That's actually only a half truth. We had a pretty good idea of how to get here, we were just calling to confirm what we knew. Even though we got the directions from back home, we STILL had to call the Site Coordinator for the most accurate directions. But hey, glad to know that we're good for a laugh or two...or three!!
For those of you reading, feel free to add your comments to our blog. We'd just love to hear from "alluh y'all"!
Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. We expect the drive team to be here early this afternoon.
Out for now.
