I very much enjoyed hanging around the house preparing for the shower I had for my niece; however, it's time to 'hit the road' and hit it we did!

Although it's pretty hot--no, it's real hot--as in 104 degrees(!), we decided to bring out the
ol' 5th wheel
and head to Caddo Lake State Park.

Located in East Texas near Marshall and Jefferson, this park offers not much internet service, phone service or television service--we knew this was our kind of place...

We could hardly wait to 'set up camp' and 'check the place out'...

Anyhoo...

Caddo Lake State Park is magical...just stay tuned...I'll convince you...

So you think this is pretty unassuming? It does appear to be so, however; looks can be deceiving.
After making camp, we decided to 'look around' the joint...
Okay, here we go...

The old 'Boy Scout Honor System' at its finest...
Need some ice?  How 'bout firewood?
Maybe a canoe?
I love this sign...

The canoe outing was pretty wonderful...Lots and lots and lots of cypress trees along the bayou. This state park offers a serene natural habitat for turtles, fish, alligators and people.

These pictures say it all...magnificent!

We ended our day with a bike ride...down, out of the park, into the surrounding communities...We rode old country roads and stumbled upon this town,
with this sign in front of a flea market. 
The flea market wasn't so great; however, the sign on its wall was...
With a grin on my face, I took this picture...

Another great trip for us!
