Coffeemill Lake, Caddo Natl Grasslands, Honey Grove, TX - Oct 19-20
This was a GREAT stop -- cheap ($4 regular and $2 OFR -- "old folks rate") and lovely dry camping. We are a little curious, though, why an area with 2 lakes surrounded by woods is called a grasslands. If we had it to do over we would have camped at West Davy Crockett Lake, since it didn't have a boat ramp and would have been even nicer (less traffic and boat noise). Still, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We visited the little town of Honey Grove to pick up some mail. The postmistress said "We don't get much General Delivery mail here" and wanted to know our "story". The local library was friendly with good computers. We enjoyed the peaceful setting, but the second day the temperature went up about 15 degrees and the humidity alsorose. It became quite oppressive.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 11:43 PM
