Diamond T RV Park, Pollock, LA: Feb 24-Mar 3
We have wonderful cousins, Joe & Marilyn Black, who live in Pineville, LA, adjacent to Alexandria, and we have searched for a decent and reasonably priced RV park to stay in while visiting with them. Thanks to a listing in the Escapees booklet, we may have finally found "the one". This is a wonderful, quiet, low-key park, with grassy spaces, pleasant views, and a resident cell tower which provides excellent reception. Most importantly, we were able to get here without passing through Alexandria, which is a dreadful city to drive through if you aren't familiar with it, and we always seem to wind up taking a wrong turn somewhere. We actually got lost this time while shopping (it didn't help that Google Maps had a non-existent street) and had to call Joe help.We really enjoyed great home-cooking by Marilyn (with able assistance from Joe!) and really good quality visiting time. Joe & Marilyn recently acquired a computer from their son-in-law, and we attempted to give them a crash course (no pun intended) in some of the basics without getting too complicated in our explanations.
We needed to do some shopping one day, but first we went to see the movie "Coraline" since they were showing it in 3-D. We have always enjoyed Tim Burton's movies, and this was no exception. The 3-D made it extra-special. Sunday we decided to visit the local bridge club and surprisingly came in first! You could have knocked us over with a feather, since we both thought we were struggling to stay out of last place.
It was sad parting with Joe & Marilyn, since we don't come East as much with Willie's parents both gone, and we're not sure when we'll be back. We're hoping to make a similar trip in 2 or 3 years.
