Cajun Potluck

Today we moved from Somerville Lake to a resort near Washington, Texas. We put the address into our NAV system, which directed us to turn onto a county road. We soon realized it was a mistake, since the road was narrow, windy, and tree lined, but it wasn't going to be easy to turn around, especially since every driveway was blocked by a locked gate.

We got out to survey the situation, and a couple offered to let us use their driveway, but it had overhanging trees. They suggested the entry to a ranch farther up the road, so we continued on. We pulled into the ranch drive and started to maneuver to back out onto the road, but the drive was short and the road narrow. After an hour we had the rig perpendicular to the road, but then the right rear dually fender hit a post, which turned out to mark a culvert, so we had to reverse all our efforts. Meanwhile someone came along and told us that there was a Y in the road ahead that we could use to U-turn. So another lesson learned....

The resort had a Cajun Weekend on the schedule for the 26th, so we got to take part in a Cajun potluck dinner. We spent some time around the pool and walked the grounds. The people were friendly, and the park was attractive—it has a dock and pedal boats in a large pool. Activities include croquet and volleyball. It's a small park; only a few people live on the grounds. It's surrounded by woods, so it’s a restful place.
