CADDO LAKE
Guided Tours
and
Birthdays/Mother's Day Party
Each day started with a good, healthy breakfast.
 |
 |
 |
|
We scheduled two guided lake trips. The first one was on a pontoon boat with Patsy as our guide. |

Patsy NEVER stopped talking |
Amanda looked lovely! |
|
She showed us the Caddo Hotel |
|
and all about the Cypress trees |
 |
 |

|
We spent a lot of the afternoon
on the first tour, and learned a lot. But, we were anxious to take the
evening tour on the steam powered built-to-scale paddleboat. This tour
was shorter and less informative, but infinitely more aesthetically
appealing.
|
||
 |
This is a very popular
tour. We went to the landing, paid the dues and walked from the dock,
across the ramp and onto the boat.
|
 |
 |
We steamed out past abandoned
artifacts of the prosperous by gone days and viewed many of the sights
we saw earlier in the day. The fascination was with the boat itself
and the practically noiseless propulsion.

Sunday, the PARTY day included
not only the actual party, but also the maiden voyage of the Fant's
own paddleboat.
