Day 65 - September 17, 2022
Avinger Station TX
Having arrived to Avinger in Northeast Texas, we are greeted by David Simpson, owner of Avinger Station RV Park, who has reserved a special site for us near his office and across the highway from the main campus. He demonstrates how the picnic table converts from a park bench. We have never seen an amazing table such as this.
The picnic table also has a very comfortable seat, which is a 'plus' in a campground, and we look forward to having a meal outside in the beautiful scenery.
We take a late afternoon stroll to see the rest of the RV park and admire the site planning and landscaping. David has also built some cabins to rent. Each site has a fire pit and cover in case of rain.
Avinger was home to us for many years when we owned the blueberry farm, and this evening we are privileged to again dine at the Catfish & More restaurant, owned by Sterling and Cindy Corbett. It's great to visit with guests who were once our neighbors. Children play outside while their parents are waiting to be called in for their reservation. The restaurant also takes walk-ins.
When the sun begins to get low in the sky, Herb and I return to Sweet Georgia Brown. In the distance we see Stark Outdoor Advertising billboards, now belonging to a new owner, who has retained our name. In the foreground of the second photo is a banner for the Avinger Wine Festival, typically held in September.
This area tugs at our heartstrings as we think of heading south tomorrow toward Sweet Georgia Brown's home in Livingston.
Thank you, David, for a pleasant stay. Soon we will begin planning our 2023 Summer Get-Away!
Willie of Sweet Georgia Brown,
