Larson Everett turns 99

By anybodys standard today was a tremendous accomplishment. It's difficult to believe someone born in 1924 is still with us in 2023. In attendance at the celebration were his 3 sons and one daughter, his 2 long time caregivers and other assorted in laws. IE Maggie, Anne and me. The meal before the party and the party itself generated enough food to keep us fed for days. Today is Wednesday. We leave here on Friday. 

Sam Houston Jones SP.

We are just outside of Lake Charles LA. The town and the park were pretty much trashed a couple of years ago by a direct hurricane hit. The campground is devoid of trees and it used to be shaded by old Pines. The remaining trees appear to also have been burned. Those holes in that bridge are burn holes. A double whammy. Should be in SA tomorrow. Don't know about blog posts from Larson's driveway but I'll try to take a few pics.

Greenwood Stables

This place isn't really a Harvest Host because the owner charges to stay here. That could possibly be because there are full hookups. Power, water and sewer. We had a navigation adventure getting here because 4 miles from our destination there were barriers across the road. It was closed. We disconnected and found an alternate route so it wasn't too big a deal. No particular super exciting pictures around the Stables. They have horses and a pet cemetery. We will be near Lake Charles LA. tomorrow. 

Florida Panhandle

We are parked at a HARVEST HOST location near Monticello Fla. Harvest hosts let you park overnight for free. The only catch is there is generally something to buy and buying something is encouraged. We bought something. $95 worth. There are wineries, brewerys, farms and other interesting locations. This place is a working farm. Jenny is holding a 3 day old baby goat beside the lady that gave us a tour of the property. We move tomorrow to Biloxi Ms. 

On the road again

We are headed back to San Antonio to celebrate Larson's 99th birthday. Our first stop is Jekyll Island State Park Georgia. We got here mid afternoon and used our brief time in the park to ride our bikes. This trip will have us out for 3 weeks. We are using it as a shake down outing to get used to the MP3. It is really small so quite a bit of, getting used to, is going to be required. We've got 3 one night stands ahead of us before we get to SA.
