 Folks around Caddo
What's the state of affairs up there with all this water? My family is planning on staying on the lake Apr 7-10.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
I'll be going too. Staying at the cabins at Lafittes. Man I hope the area in general isn't damaged too badly. Aside from our trip there's a lot of old structures and history in that area. Last time I saw Johnsons store was 10+hrs ago, kinda hurts to see just the roof outta the water and I'm not a local.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
At this point I just hope they get everything back in order for them selves. Crossing fingers for June.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
Does anyone know about other places to stay in Jefferson or within a few minutes of the lake? Caddo lodge is high and dry up on a hill but the big house is booked and honestly we'd need to rent all three of their places to accommodate the whole family.
-were still looking for something but it's looking more and more like we're going to have to scratch this trip and try again in the fall maybe.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
Shady glade has 3 mobile homes. They are across the street and I believe they are ok. They are larger and should easily accomodate a family.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
Shady Glade looked booked when we need it. Pretty much everything had no availability or is currently flooded and will need repairs...
Like I said, I'm good with staying in town and just using the state park boat ramp or whatever. Doesn't have to be on the water necessarily.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
Sad sad for these people. The vegetation problem shouldn't be a problem after this besides locals raking it off their lawns.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
Probably sent a bunch south too. It has been quite bad for many. Got some friends that just bought their first house (closing 3 weeks ago), but the flood insurance doesn't take effect for 2 more days.

 Re: Folks around Caddo
We hung this one up and are going to stay somewhere else instead. I'm still planning on making the ride up there in June. Hope some sense of normalcy has returned. We'll be staying in Shelby County on a private place. It's the off-season on a big hunting retreat type place and we'll be able to hog hunt and be 20min or so from Toledo. Sounds good to me. The fam will have to try Caddo in the fall or maybe next spring.
I'm looking forward to it!!

 Re: Folks around Caddo
I checked with the Canup's and their cottages are okay but 2' more and they'll be under water.
