Looking Back Some More

The Fuzz has already reviewed some of the projects of last year.
Let's just say it was an unusually busy year for The Fuzz and His Sweetie.
Besides the projects, there was a bit of travel-
Quite a bit!

In April The Fuzz figured it had warmed up enough to get the old Motorcycle out for a bit of touring.
He spent some time out on the coast and then rode up into 
Virginia to visit his sister
.
He did have to deal with a bit of rain, but all in all it was a pretty good trip.

Then it was time for The Fuzz and His Sweetie to hit the road to visit family in Oklahoma & Texas.
But since they were going that far, they decided on a round-a-bout route so they could take in some of the sights along the way.
The first stop was Cheaha State Park in Alabama.
That was pretty nice, although the facilities could have used a bit of 
maintenance
.
Next- still in Alabama- they headed for the Gulf Coast and Gulf State Park.
It was quite a change from the mountains-
And a bit interesting!

Then they headed west toward the Luisiana 
Bayous
.

That was a bit of a "Washout".
With all the rain, the whole world was flooded down there.  Their 
scheduled
 camp site was a tiny pad of paving, surrounded by water.
They decided to pass on that one and- with a hotel stop- started north toward 
Arkansas
 and their next campground-
Lake Ouachita State Park.

That was a nice enough place.
The Fuzz and His Sweetie got settled in okay.
There was more rain in the forecast, but they are relatively 
experienced
 campers and were quite cozy for the 1st night.
The rain itself wasn't an issue.

But the wind turned out to be!
The campground was on a high ridge, and their tent was about ready to blow away.
The Fuzz was inclined to try and stick it out, but His Sweetie had a better assessment of the situation-
The worst was still on the way!
 So they broke camp during a lull and started toward Oklahoma City.

We'll continue this tale soon.
