Fontainebleau State Park Mandeville, LA

Night before last stayed at Sam Houston Jones State Park in western Louisiana.  At the moment we are staying at the Fontainebleau SP  which is on the northern shore of Lake  Pontchartrain, LA.  It is very hot with a high humidity, and our camper does not have air conditioning.  It is a beautiful campground and we road the bikes all over.  Would like to go swimming but signs say "High Bacteria, swimming not advised".

                                           Found a sign but no gators

                                           This is not our camper but there is a story here.  Met the owners in Yosemite, and talked for an hour.  They are a nice couple from Maine,  and doing a circle of the country like us. They have a Shadow cruiser camper like us and met us by talking camper talk.   They are in their 70's  and have been traveling for a long time.   We seen them in New Mexico and Galveston Island and then again Monday night they camped near us.   We both have different agenda's,  so thought it a coincidence that we kept seeing each other.
