Our last day here at LPP.....

Our Location: Lincoln Parish Park, Ruston, Louisiana

 

Some very quiet days here in LPP. Not much going on with only about 8 or 9 rigs in the park. One or two come and one or two go, it's a tough life.

This morning we did something Riley's been talking about for a couple of years. For one reason or another we just didn't seem able to fit it in. We visited a Waffle House for breakfast. I've been numerous times but Riley hasn't. We both enjoyed waffles but Riley isn't too interested in going back. We will see as time goes on if she changes her mind. 

 

Love the reflection in the water.

Wouldn't this be a nice place to sit and read or just reflect?

 

Yesterday we enjoyed the sun and the warmth. The temps reached the 80F/ 26.6 C, an overnight with temperature warm enough to leave the vents open and still be comfortable putting non slippered feet on the floor. Even with the cloudy skies today our temperature reached 77F/ 25C.

 

Watching for breakfast.

Also watching for breakfast.

 

Today we had a little rain, lots of clouds and a bit of sun. Tomorrow is calling for rain along our entire route. Morning rain with afternoon clearing, let's hope they are right. 

 

Paved over tree roots are pushing upward and breaking the walking paths smooth surface.

Turtles sunning themselves.

 

Tomorrow we head out moving into Texas. We have been debating our travels there, and I think we've finally made our decision. We've decided to head off through Texas on a one night overnight stay basis until we pass through both Texas and New Mexico. We hope to arrive at Empire Ranch in Arizona by mid week, in time to sit out the American Thanksgiving without any worry about campgrounds being full and highway traffic.  We had tossed around a number of different ideas but we both like this one best. If our friends Ron & Sharon are going to join us, they can do it as easily in Arizona as they can in Texas. 

 

Our Waffle House visit.

 

All photos today were once again taken with my phone. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit. 

 

 

Today we journey to the beach/picnic area.

 

Until next time.... take care, be safe,

Quiet few days....

Our Location: Natural Falls State Park, Colcord, OK

 

A dreary day, a nice day and cool nights have been the weather here the last few days. Below the freezing mark over night means we disconnect the water hoses at night but it's warmed up nicely through the day except of course for the wind. 

 

It's been a very quiet few days and I'm sorry but I have no photos for you, I've been lazy and not really doing much of anything except visiting. 

 

Met some friends of Ron's & Sharon's, fellow Canadians in fact, and from Ontario too. Small world isn't it? Meeting Ontarians through some Americans. I think that is kind of funny myself. 

 

Ron, Sharon, Mark, Judy, Riley and I went out to dinner last night at a local steakhouse. I think a good time was had by all, or at least I had a good time so I assume everyone else did as well. Lots of smiles and laughs, swapping stories, and so on. How can one not enjoy that? 

 

A campfire after we returned home (except Riley), had us still chatting with no lag in the conversation. However the cold damp chill had us all heading to our homes around 9 pm. Brrrrr would have been the word of description to use for the feel of the air. 

 

Today is our last day here at the park and with our friends Ron & Sharon. We have enjoyed our time with them and hope our paths cross again many times in the months and years ahead. They are truly wonderful folks with big hearts and a ready smile. It's been a fantastic week for Riley & I. 

 

Perhaps our paths will cross again with Mark & Judy, also a nice couple whom we enjoyed meeting. Friendly, thoughtful and easy going folks that Ron & Sharon  met at Magic River in Long Beach, MS. It seems it is the year to catch up with the MR (Magic River) bunch. If you recall we met up with our friends Lisa & Paul (Buzz), along with other Magic River folks Jerry & Carol earlier this year at the tent event in Q. We haven't seen any of them for a couple of years and now we have met up again with many in just this one short season.

 

We are running short on our data this month for some reason so I'll not be posting much for a couple of days. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit. 

 

Until next time... take care, be safe,
