Where's Liz? Texas Bound day 3...meeting Vickie

Postby Liz » Tue Mar 30, 2010 10:50 pm

I sacrificed a leisurely drive though Louisiana countryside today so I could gtg with Vickie...sure hope she’s worth it. lol (I already knew she was worth it, but this is why I don’t usually drive on Interstates)
Image

I was taken aback when I visited the ladies restroom at a gas station. I guess this is a LA “throne room.”
Image
Image

This sign was on the inside of the stall. I won’t tell you what else it said on the wall inside the stall.
Image

Vickie greeted me as soon as I arrived and helped me get settled next to their 5th wheel right by the river. I could tell she was thrilled to meet me because she left right after that and didn’t come back until after dark. (She said she had a meeting to go to.....hmmm)
Image

So I took Roe for a nice walk around this lovely park. We walked along the river.
Image
Image

Checked out the rental cabins.
Image

And the fishing docks.
Image

Went past these confederate graves. This was the site of a Civil War battle.
Image

Saw the cannon display.
Image

And met Darryl’s wildlife....a most unusual campground for sure.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Vickie’s charming husband Ronnie regaled me with stories of the area, their life histories, the civil war history of the cg, of places they’ve been, and plenty of fish stories. Here he helps his niece Maggie put a sinker on her fishing line.
Image

Finally Vickie came back and I am delighted to report that she is not mean. In fact she and Ronnie are as nice a folk as you’d ever want to meet. I’m glad we met and look forward to another gtg with more time. Vickie cooked a yummy meal and then we chatted around the warm campfire awhile longer. In the morning we’ll study the map to figure out the best non-Interstate route to my next destination. Looks like I’ll have a shorter drive tomorrow, so won’t need to leave at the crack of dawn.

What a beautiful campground! Glad to hear the vicious rumors about Vickie are not true! And that her cooking is edible! Glad you had a nice visit. Too bad you couldn't stay longer.

See, Liz said I'm not mean, now yall know the truth! :D

It was really great meeting you, Liz, I'm sorry I had to go to a meeting, but more importantly, I'm sorry you had to listen to all Ronnie's stories. :roll:

The "throne" bathrooms are because they convert a room with a slab and don't want to bust it up to put plumbing or they just want easy access for repairs. I've never seen one quite that high though! Or if you're Mitch and have too many Carolyn's Coolers you can just kneel on the steps! :o :lol:

We'll have coffee in the morning and then I'll have to let Liz get on down the road to meet some more of the Sistah's, wish she could stay longer, but I know there will be another GTG down the road.

Gosh Liz, you sure do take your camera into some interesting places :lol: Guess you never know when something to snap might show up. Nice campground and looks like you had a great time. By the way, how much did Vicki pay you to say those nice things about her :twisted: As always, am enjoying traveling with you. carold

Yeah, but now You-Know-Who has falsely convinced more and more people that's she's really nice. Ha.

Liz, thanks for sharing your pictures. It looks like a great CG and a short, but fun visit with Vickie and Ron and nieces. Vickie, Do you take your nieces camping often? Way to go auntie for getting the kids involved in camping.

Vickie, I know you swore up and down that you are a red head, the picture looks like you are a blonde to me. I don't think the sun shining from behind will work this time. :o ;) Liz, how about it? Unless you have to remain silent under threat from some southern curse or something. :D

Safe travels to TX. Linda

PS: Good catch, Linda! :mrgreen:

Wow Liz, what a great trip. I just set here and went all that ways in a matter of minutes :lol: Your route looks great, I love the roads you've chosen, especially those in Fl. I'm glad you had a GTG with Vicky and Ronnie, they are nice people, so is Mitch, no matter what anyone says :lol: :lol:

You do take the best pics and have a wonderful way of making us all feel like we are right there with you. I've really enjoyed this trip so far!!!!

Well the vote is still out on whether Vickie is nice or not. Can't tell by Liz's comments - she likes EVERYBODY! :D
