Touching base!

Terry and I went to Hilton Head Island a few weeks ago (I had computer work there) and we took the boat but with 30-40 mph winds we never got it in the water. It sat in the hotel parking lot looking oh so lonely the whole week. Then we went back to Florida, put the RV in storage (boo hoo) and headed to Winter Haven and spent a week or so at the farm. 3 foals were born while we were there and we had a great time with family. Terry is still at the farm and I'm in Durham, NC doing another computer job for a few days but flying home today and then tomorrow we are heading out to Texas for a couple of months and taking the boat with us. We are planning to stop in Apalachicola/Port St. Joe area for a few days to check out the area, but...grrrrr it's supposed to rain tomorrow and Friday and high winds so we might not stop... playing it by ear. I am so ready to get back in the boat and have a fun day on the water doing anything! I really think we would be happy if we lived on a boat full time and traveled by boat but can't figure out all the logistics unless we had a barge so we could fit all our crabbing gear, crab traps, shrimping gear, fishing gear, camping gear, vehicle, flats boat, etc with us. Haven't quite worked that all out... lol.

Anyways, good luck this weekend at the throwdown. Can't wait to see how it goes! Wish we were gonna be there but we have to get to Texas by Monday.

We are going to be heading right past Quincy this weekend but I'm afraid we won't be allowed back on Monroe if we stop there and catch big fish. On the other hand, if we stop there and get skunked and don't give yall any help we won't be allowed back there either. Lose/Lose on our part... lol.

Oh great idea! Maybe we should drive all the way to Grenada tomorrow since the weather will be bad in Apalach for the next couple of days and might have pushed through Grenada. Been wanting to see the big specks of Mississippi!

Ginny

Then stop at the Atchafalaya Basin and Toledo Bend in Louisiana. Make sure ya take a camera if ya do!!

I just love driving across the Atchafalaya Swamp... If I'm thinking of the right place... I-10 West of Lake Ponchartrain?

Ginny

Yep thats the place. Spent many many days in there.

A lot of $$$$$ spent and a long recovery fer something Jack could have told em in 5 minutes! Hope ya get well soon CG1!

Well we ended up staying one night in Apalachicola, then drove to Louisiana and spent a couple nights (but only one day) at Toledo Bend State Park. We caught some white perch (local name for specks) and bluegills and catfish. Gave them away due to the fact I got food poisoningon the first day of our trip and have been sick as a dog all the way through today. Nothing says fun like driving 25 plus hours while being nauseated and such. Schedule changed again so Terry dropped me off at DFW and I'm on a plane to Portland, Oregon. He's heading to Arkansas to spend time with his family then we meet up back in Texas in a few weeks. The redbuds are blooming so its perfect crappie fishing time in Arkansas so he should have fun fishing with his brothers (and no girls to mess up the Bite!)

From what I could tell through my food poisoning haze, Toledo Bend is an awesome place. Will post pics someday when I'm feeling better.
