We had the best accommodations last night. Just east of De Ridder we stayed at a small RV park/camp ground and a small hobby farm, Plesant Hill Park. We were going to tent there, but we were very easily convinced to take advantage of the teepee accommodation with A/C, beds, and refrigerator. We also had access to the kitchen (for cyclists only), laundry and showers.
After using all the facilities and a nap we met some of the animals. There were the 2 donkeys, Jack and Daniel, the two mini horses Bonny and Clyde, two baby mini horses, 4 mini cows, 3 alpaca (somoa, al, and ?), 3 goats (blue berry, and ?), 5 ducks and 3 cats (one with little tiny kittens). The owner, Monica, was from Austria originally and was proud to introduce us to the farm family. In the kitchen she keeps a guest book of all the cyclists she has hosted. We only made it through the back half of the entries before we started falling asleep and had to go to bed. On the wall in the kitchen was a certificate from ACA acknowledging Monica's generous accommodation for cyclists. I'm so glad we found Monica's teepee (designed, built and decorated by Monica).
Did the ducks have names???
ReplyDeleteI would bet every animal has a name, but we weren't introduced to the ducks by name, so unfortunately I can't tell you their names, but I could probably make some up? The three white ones looked like: Anabell, Sarabell, Carabell. And the two dark ones looked like Joey and Chuck.
