Only pictures from Lake Fausse Point State Park, and not too many at that. Winding down to the last weekend of our two week trip; it wasn't that RDB and I were tired of being on the road, or camping - it really had been a wonderful adventure - it was simply that we were within striking distance of home.... and this camp ground, out in the beautiful no-wheres-ville of southern Louisiana, had no cell service.
Like, none. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Which meant no blogging, no TV, no surfing thru social media, no geocaching. And with wet trails from the prior days' rain, a whole lotta not much going on.
Even Diesel was looking at me like: what're we supposed to do here?
This campground has great potential - if you really want to be off the grid and detached from the outside world (and after this week's political chaos, that's not a bad thought!) RDB and I even saw a bald eagle flying across the marsh as we were driving out - so I'd anticipate there's an opportunity to see really incredible wildlife.
The big downside of this site though, was the way they had the sewer hook-ups set up. I kid you not, we'd have had to have a 50' stinky slinky to make that connection work! RDB said that other sites weren't set up as poorly, so maybe just be on the lookout if you're in this one.
We were at Lake Fausse Pointe State Park in St Martinsville, LA Site #9. Pretty active park - it wasn't completely full, but there were obviously a few camping groups there Friday night as we pulled in. In the welcome packet from the front desk there was a flyer for the local Dutch Oven Cooking group - looks like they meet on a pretty regular basis and cook up some fun.
Cause if there's no cell service, you might as well spend the day tending a fire, right?
