We have Left Texas - Finally

Our final goal ? Get out of Texas. We have achieved our Goal.

Current location ? Alexandria, Louisiana. Specifically Alexandria Rv Park.

Alexandria RV Park - Clicky




Our first time was in 2018, when we found this spot. It is a family own park with about 10 sites. Within 5 miles of Alex.

We came because of family, specifically to see my Aunt Joy, the last remaining linkage to my father:


Since we were so close, why not, as she will be 91 years old this year. Along with my 2 cousins (Ed & Mark) and their wives (Shelly and Rhonda). Wed., we gather with Ed & Shelly for food and talk, then Thur., with all for dinner and talks.

While we were here, we planned a trip to Baton Rouge to drop off our old Level Legs system.

Sightseeing - none, visits - lots. Plus a day spend at the gravesites of the Prichard's. Normally it is only Susan and I that go and spend time; Cleaning up and visiting. However this time we asked Joy, if she would like to come with us and she did. We all enjoyed a trip out.

My pet peeve on cemeteries ?    Once you've in the ground, spend all the money, very few ever visit, and then no one ever comes. So why spend the money that way. Enjoy it while you live.

Back to real life:
On our way to baton Rouge, we enjoyed a stop at a in an old fashioned truck stop for breakfast and art.







Driving over we stopper in for a cup of coffee and became time travelers.



We continued our journey to Baton Rouge 






Along the way, we spied a Tiger on the prowl.

There are a few ways to and from Alex to Baton Rouge: Then there is DaGirls way: One of them is not being the fasted.

However it was time to leave but not until 1 additional day with my aunt. But Friday evening came and Saturday we broke camp very early (6:55) and headed north to La 167. Our destination; Ruston, where we had friends waiting and a chance to meet another Road Runner, Mark & Cathy Finnesgard.

Just outside Winnfield, we went looking for coffee, then realize this; hey we live in an rv, so we pulled over to a Walmart parking lot, walked Dakota and Tilly and made a pot of coffee. Once that was completed, we hit the road again, inverter on, keeping the coffee warm and continue your journey to Ruston.

Guess what, did you catch the part about Levelegs System? Yes we got a new system installed. More on the New System later.
For now, it is time to say
GOOD MORNING LOUISIANA 

Safe Travels and Journeys
