Mandeville is just above Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana. New Orleans is just south of us if you could swim. We are staying in a very nice state park that is about 25% full. We have been here a couple times before. The location is great. We arrived yesterday about 5:30, took a nice walk to the beach and returned about 6:30. Within about 5 minutes of returning the sky opened up and let the storm commence. We had buckets of rain, thunder and lightening most of the night. It finally let up about 8:30 this am. 
We were lucky, our RV pad is raised up, we couldn’t get to our picnic table; Some people did not do as well. Teddy and I took a walk and several of the RV’s could not get out their doors. The water started to recede about 10 so not so bad. I look all around the park and all I think is the mosquitos are going to be partying soon.
The trees are beautiful with all the moss hanging down.
It looks like a scene from a movie. And it just so happens that they are filming a movie right here in the park. The only sign of anything happening is a little tent set up at the entrance to the Day Use area that a girls is checking cast and crew in. She wouldn’t tell me the name of the film; maybe its a current series?
Its very quiet here and tomorrow we head to Mississippi where we will spend about a week just relaxing and enjoying some seafood I hope!
