Our next stop was Baton Rouge. We stayed at the KOA just outside the city for 2 nights. Enough time to see some of the local sights and do our laundry. Being so close to the attractions this KOA was a little expensive. $65US a night.
The down town area was small so we parked at the casino and decided to walk along the Mississippi River. It was a gorgeous day. The water level in the area was at its lowest point of the year. So low you could be the bottom of the USS Kidd.
We decided to take a tour of the USS Kidd – Veterans museum. It was great. First through the Memorial Hall then out to the ship.
