The Last Phone Booths

Found in Onalaska, Texas (http://www.cityofonalaska.us/), near our new hometown of Livingston. I should've "dropped a dime" - actually, a local call cost twenty-five cents, the last I knew - just one last time.

Ever thought about how prevalent phone booths used to be in our culture? And how there's a whole generation among us who have never seen one, let alone used one?

Our New Ride and Where We'll Park It

We've graduated to Owner / Operators!



And here's our RV park. It's small, quiet, with lots of trees. The owners are very nice, and they live onsite, meaning it'll be well maintained. And it's only a couple of miles from the 2nd largest lake in Texas!
