Uncertain TX is a very small touristy town in Texas. The folks here make their living off the tourists through tours, restaurants, boutiques, etc. Driving though Uncertain there was little life to be found in town. Many bed and breakfasts, cottages, cabins were either boarded up or under water. The restaurants ...

Caddo Lake State Park is a beautiful State Park in East Texas. We pulled into Caddo expecting to enjoy beautiful fall weather, do some fishing, sightseeing and river boat tours. However much of the park, and surrounding area, is under water. Two of the campgrounds were closed but ours was high enough to ...

... only decision being can I leave the cruise on and still make this bend at 130 k's, you will be pleased to know we did, just a couple I chickened out on. Felt the co-pilots knees clench a couple of times during the 160k passing moves on some quite speedy other traffic, But all in all the handbrake didn't work overtime!!

The bayous near ...

So it's almost 5AM, day of departure. Haven't finished the laundry, much less packing. Everything is a mess right now and the only thing I am sure of is how awesome this is going to be.  I feel a little guilty leaving for the holidays, but those who know me understand I would throw myself under a bus for my family. This is generally the time I spend at home with them to really catch up. I think they understand though.  Now time for a little sleep before the hectic day starts.

It's about a 70-mile drive from Texarkana to Shreveport...another drive that I have done more times than I can count. We lived in Texarkana from 1953 to 1961, and then we lives in Shreveport, Louisiana from 1961 to 1963. My Dad was the General Manager of KCMC-TV in ...

... of the car this morning, and we are going to Best Buy to get another battery for Alisha's second camera, so there should be some pictures coming soon! Part 2 Okay, so the day of the air show was cloudy and gray, so that didn't go so well. But, we did go see the city and tour the rose garden.
