The back up

When we left Baton Rouge our holding tanks were about 1/2 full.  We knew we were staying at Bayou Segnette State Park in Westwego near New Orleans and that we would not have a sewer hook up for a week.  So when we pulled into the camping area of the park our first stop was the dump station.  We hooked up and pulled the black water valve and all seemed well.  Once the tank was empty we filled it with fresh water to rinse it clean.  We pulled the valve again and water started coming up out of the hole that the soil line was in.  We closed the valve but still had 15 feet of liquid in the pipe so it continued to over flow the line for awhile.

We called the Park office and they sent 2 guys to help.  The help turned out to be them opening the large receiving tank about 15 yards away and telling me to finish the dump into it directly.  So Diana drove the RV to the tank while I walked along side holding the drain line up in the air.  It took about 10 minutes but we finally got both black and gray tanks drained.  Then we went and set up for the week.

Supposedly the park has had a plumber out twice to fix the problem.  They said they would get him back.  I hope so because we will need to drain again before we leave.
