Our Location: Lincoln Parish Park, Ruston, LA
We enjoyed our night here at LPP, it was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. I was awake early and slipped outside to go for a walk. Very chilly before the sun had a chance to peak thru and start heating up. I walked the loop twice clicking a few photos of the many vintage trailers parked here. Those are today’s photos, all taken with my phone.

Back home Riley and I spent some time enjoying a hot drink, some breakfast and some catch up with our blogger friends.

| Most of these vintage trailers are owned by single women. |
With the clock moving toward the hour of 11 AM we climbed into the Dogsled for a side trip to Lake Claiborne State Park about a half hour from our front door. The road was windy, narrow and grooved. The park is too far from the interstate for our liking and is not a park we would enjoy. This is not a complaint by any means I’m just making notes for the future for myself.

| Some very nice views on my walk. |
LA 146 that we took to get to the park is skinny, twisty and very grooved. The state park road is also very skinny, very steep in some places and too curvy for comfort towing the Igloo. The park is covered with a canopy that would definitely not allow much, if any sunshine to reach the sites. Some sites are pull thru, some are back in, some on the water, others not. The road is much too skinny and curvy for a big rig to maneuver easily and stay on the hard top.

A disc golf tournament was going on today. Cars parked everywhere, and folks walking everywhere as well. A very nice park but just not a park for us.
 |
| Another vintage trailer. Don't you love the teapot? |
The sunshine today warmed up the air a great deal and as each day passes the temperatures are moving in the upward direction, just the way we want them to. We are planning on spending a number of days here before we move on into Texas.

| Can you see the Blue Heron in the water? |
So that’s our story for today, I hope you enjoyed your visit, sorry it wasn’t more exciting.

| Very beautiful! |
Until next time…. be safe, take care,

Those small trailers are so cute.....and practical too.
ReplyDeleteTravel safe!
They make us feel as if we are living in a mansion. Haha. Very cute and very compact. I think they are great for one person for a short period of time. Of course that person couldn't have much stuff to take along.

Gotta love those vintage trailers! The park you're staying in is lovely. Glad you wrote the about the other park too! Always good to get out and explore.
ReplyDeleteThe little trailers were so very cute and all of them were inhabited by ladies. The group met here and left any husbands at home. Ladies weekend only.
DeleteI like exploring but I find the deep south roads to be narrow with no shoulders and very little room for comfort while driving. I'm no longer used to driving on roads of this nature and so the notes remind of those things for future use.
Take care, be safe,

Love the older trailers but we are so spoilt with all the space of our current ones.
ReplyDeleteVery well said, and I agree one hundred percent. They are so cute but for long term travel or camping, I think not very practical. For a weekend get away for one person or a couple, they would be okay.
