Waskom…
Today was a pretty uneventful day, which was nice for a change.
We left the North Waco KOA (actually in West,, TX. No, not west Texas, but West. TX) about 10:15 am heading north and then east toward Waskom, TX, about 5 miles from the Louisiana border and about 20 miles west of Shreveport.
Leaving the park, I stopped by the office to drop off a bundle of Gypsy Journals and we hit the road.
We pulled into Miss Ellie’s RV Park in Waskom, TX about 2:45 pm and got set up. I’m glad I made a reservation because the lady in the office said we got the last site, and she’d already turned away 4 or 5 people this afternoon, waiting for us. It seems like the further east we go, the fuller the parks are. Although I usually don’t worry about reservations, I guess I have to be more careful.
After we got settled in, we headed into Shreveport/Bossier City for dinner, but first we stopped back by the office and dropped off another bundle of Gypsy Journals. The lady said she heard of it and was glad to see a copy.
We’d decided we wanted to get our “wing fix’ so we ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings, one of our two favorite wing places. (The other one being Hooters).
Jan got her wings ‘HOT’ and I got mine with “MANGO HABANERO” with a side of “BLAZIIN’” for dipping. “BLAZIN’ is their hottest sauce, then comes “WILD”, MANGO HABANERO”, and then “HOT”. Then there are 10 less hot sauces, for a total of 14.
By the time we got finished, our mouths were really burning, so that called for a stop on the way home at Dairy Queen for some soft-serve ice cream to cool off.
We got home about 6:30 and settle in for the season premiere of “Eureka” on SyFy Channel
Tomorrow we’ll travel about 230 miles east to somewhere around Jackson, MS. Still not sure where we’ll stay yet. There’s a MOOSE lodge there that I’ll call in the morning to see what they have available.
More tomorrow…
