No rain, blue skies, sun and warmth.
What a nice surprise this campground is. Clean, well maintained and plenty of room. We are now at Tall Pines RV Park in Shreveport, La. We arrived Thursday afternoon. One thing unusual about this campground though is the restriction of no guests (other than those staying at the campground).
The BIG notice you get says: "Due to Insurance Regulations the park is for the REGISTERED GUESTS only! Please make arrangements to meet family and friends away from the Tall Pines RV Park Property." Could be a let down if you planned on having anyone come over for a campfire or dinner when visiting.
Friday we went to the Shreveport-Bossier Waterfront Boardwalk. A beautiful shopping and restaurant outdoor mall with a Bass Pro Store to boot!
We had intentions of eating some local food but unfortunately this outdoor mall had all your standard chain restaurants. Saturday we plan on finding a good place to eat and we are going to the RW Norton Art Gallery in downtown Shreveport.
Today (Saturday) we went to the Art Gallery and Gardens - all free. The art gallery is fairly large and has great paintings, sculptures, glass work and a gun collection from the civil war era.

If you are in the area and want some great regional food go to Becca's Steak and Seafood on Pines Rd in Shreveport. It's one of those places the locals at the campground said to go and boy were they right! Kathy had crawfish and I had red snapper. It was really good. Portions were generous and the price was right!

Off to Texas tomorrow.
I've been asked to show the "We are Here" on a map to follow us....so here you go
I didn't think that warthogs were real.....I guess they are! Lots of pretty flowers there. Does it smell like spring?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the map for your geographically impaired friends!
Safe travels!
It was shorts weather. They talk summer here like spring is almost over. FYI - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warthog
