Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 4,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
I’m currently in my 23rd year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here
The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort in La Conner, Washington. I’ll depart here August 13th.
Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.
The motorhome is currently parked at VFW Post #9822 in Duson, Louisiana.
Yesterday we drove the Bronco the about 15 miles south to visit the Town of Abbeville which you can read about by clicking this link…

First stop was in the central square where there are some beautiful huge old Oak trees. I would say without a doubt that these Oak trees are the largest we have seen during this current visit to Louisiana. Several of the branches are so long and heavy they have to be supported by metal poles…
Here are some photos that I took…
As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…
Then we crossed the street into the Abbeville Museum in which the docent Cheryl was very knowledgeable and helpful by describing all of the artifacts. You can read about the museum by clicking their official website link…

In early November, Abbeville has a giant 5,000 egg omelet festival which you can read about by clicking this link…

After Hurricane Rita in 2005, Abbeville was under water…
A short walk to the nearby church…
Around the side of the church we saw these huge Steen’s syrup cans. We didn’t stop in, but here’s their website link…

To the cemetery in the back of the church…
Back at the motorhome later in the afternoon I shot these two photos of the sunset which I decided to do in black and white…
All in all…another nice day.
Enjoying historical towns is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!
