Anyone recall the Kisatchie TURD back in Spring of 2017? The one that rained on us and we had to navigate the mud to visit the Kisatchie Bayou? When my friend John Strong made his bean soup for our supper one evening? Unfortunately, John passed away Spring 2018.

In his memory, Jena and I will attempt to cook up a big pot of his bean soup over the campfire on Friday evening, May 5th - maybe enough for everyone. We'll try to have it ready 6:30ish. I don't recall which, or where, our cabin is at the KOA. Just look us up -- we shouldn't be too difficult to find.
