A photo kind of day....

Our Location:  Lincoln Parish Park, Ruston, LA

 

A very quiet and peaceful Sunday here at the park. All of the vintage trailers left before noon, most of the park emptied out except for maybe 7 or 8 rigs. Around 2 pm the rigs started coming in, at least 3 in a half hour. So I think arriving early would be wise, you may not get the best spot but you have a better chance of getting a spot. 

 One of the fishermen we noticed on our way around the pond.

I don’t have a lot of words today but I took some photos with my phone on our walk around the pond, which netted me about 2.5 miles (we walked this path twice around the pond). I hope you enjoy the views. 

That fisherman is a bit left of middle on this photo.

We are nearing one of the picnic areas in the day use section of the park.

That is the second picnic area over there and the swimming beach.

You can see the RV's way over there in the trees.

The RV park can be seen on the right of the photo.

That piece of iron work is the 'dam' of sorts to allow them to control the height of the water.

The swimming beach/picnic area is the yellowish sandy area. Picnic only area is to the right by that big green leafed tree.

You back out onto those areas, complete with all hook ups and a fantastic view.

The middle area is the day use picnic only area of the park. Swim beach to the left, park to the right.

You can see the campground from across the pond.

Until next time… take care, be safe, 

I told you the view was nice. The walking path can be seen along the water's edge in this photo.

A nice park and a not for us park.....

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.

 

This lady is from Texas.

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.
 

A closer look at the mist on the water this morning.

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,
