hello from table rock lake!! walleye and crappie still biting! thanks for sharing your special memorois. love fall and winter camping. you get spoiled being and enjoying the peaceful parks!
I also grew up camping at Platt and then CNRA! We always stayed in #54! We had so much fun roaming the park. As adults we siblings have gone with our children. Many happy memories!
We loved going to Platt. First our dad's family went for years. After they quit going, we met my mom's sister, and sometimes a brother or two or three, there. We agree on many happy memories being associated with Platt.
Thank you ladies for such a charming video. I loved hearing about your early camping memories. Your enthusiasm for camping and joy in returning to a beloved family spot is delightful to see,
There is nothing like visiting special places from your childhood. We used to camp also as kids in one of those huge army surplus tents that took all of us quite some time to put up. We camped in undeveloped land along rivers in West Virginia. I am sure that I couldn't find where we camped these days if I tried. It is probably all developed or mined. I hope you ladies are staying in and safe these days.
@@TwoTiredTeachers I only get out for groceries these days. However, I am doing my best to take all precautions....gloves masks and spraying everything I touch with Clorox.
We're trying to go a couple of weeks between grocery shopping, and we're using the masks, gloves, and Clorox. We'd love to see our aunt, but she's 96 and we don't want her sick.
@@TwoTiredTeachers I know what you mean about your aunt. My sister-in-law's father is in a nursing home and she hasn't seen him in a month. She is afraid that he won't remember who she is when this is all over.
@@PidasianHippie Sharon and I have talked about the fact that if our mom were living, not being able to see one of us each day would have killed her. Our mom counted on us. I'm sorry about your sister-in-law. That's a tough position.
It's nice that you can travel together. I love traveling with my sister and brother in law with our campers. We are meeting up in Oshkosh Wisconsin then Michigan this summer. My family never camped or traveled growing up. So glad we do now.
My favorite video yet. Your family made such great memories. I got the news that I am next on my van builder's list. It looks like he will start in late February so I hope to be out there soon. Thanks for sharing.
That's a wonderful place for you !I'm thankful you shared it ,and also about your dad! I'm sorry you lost him so young ,but I am sure he's watching and so proud!
@@MrSTravelQuest You must have the patience of Job. Sharon taught American Sign Langauge to grades 9-12, and I taught English I to high school freshmen.
@@TwoTiredTeachers That's awesome! I know you have patience for the older kiddos. I am currently learning ASL and even have a channel dedicated for ASL vocabulary. I give you ladies credit for doing it for so long :-)
@@MrSTravelQuest We both left while we still liked teens. We've seen teachers who act as if they don't enjoy kids. Why would you teach if that were the case?
We loved Platt National Park, but the ranger we spoke with said they have more visitors since it's become a national recreation area. Of course, it covers a lot more miles.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Yeah, but come on, that's just a bent piece of metal. Literally the entire park is man made. Even the river isn't in its natural state anymore. If that can be a park anything can. Congress can't say anything about his place not being big enough or natural enough to be a national park if that thing that looks like it was Bender from Futurama's practice bar can be a national park.
Completely off topic ... I was planning to boondock on the beach at Bolivar Flats and Padre Island National Seashore during the first 10 days of March, until I read that Texas Spring Break would make doing that impossible, difficult or unpleasant. Does anyone have experience with this area during spring break? Should I change my plans? Would I still be able to snag a beach spot? I should emphasize I am only planning to go to the National Seashore; I have NO interest in the actual TOWN of South Padre Island ...

April, we took a short trip so we wouldn't go stir crazy. We are doing well. Are you able to work with the shelter in place orders?

So nice to have special memories! The park is beautiful!
We do have lots of memories of that park.
We all have that special place, love the feeling. Working on those places with a family of my own and it is special for sure.
Thanks a bunch for your comment. Platt is one of the special places from our childhood.
Everyone needs a special place. Thank you for sharing yours with us
It is a place where many memories were made. Thanks for your comment.
It's nice that you can travel together. I love traveling with my sister and brother in law with our campers. We are meeting up in Oshkosh Wisconsin then Michigan this summer. My family never camped or traveled growing up. So glad we do now.
It was all tent camping and cots when we were kids. The RV gives us much more flexiblity and comfort. Thank you for your comment.

Exciting news about the van. Please keep us posted. We're ready for you to join the ranks of RVers.
We were there a couple of months ago, loved it. Actually stayed at The Point Campground. Thanks for sharing ladies!
We would have loved to stay at Rock Creek in the Platt historic district, but it was cold and we decided not to dry camp. Glad you loved it.
That's a wonderful place for you !I'm thankful you shared it ,and also about your dad! I'm sorry you lost him so young ,but I am sure he's watching and so proud!
I am rewatching and still love these stories of your childhood and your memories! I appreciate you for sharing so much of your lives with us ❤️
Y'all are so cute!
Thank you very much!
Enjoyed your video ladies. Just learned about this area today.
We grew up tent camping in that area. It will always be special for us.
Wow great memories! You too impress me with the “family” perspective! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Family has always been important to us.
Beautiful park! Me and my wife need to check this one out as well. I like to travel to these parks and share my experience with my students :-)
What do you teach?
@@TwoTiredTeachers Self Contained SSS 3rd-5th grade. What grades did ya'll teach before retiring?
@@MrSTravelQuest You must have the patience of Job. Sharon taught American Sign Langauge to grades 9-12, and I taught English I to high school freshmen.

It is a shame this is no longer a national park, but that giant horseshoe in Missouri is. How did that happen?

@@travis303 You make a good point, a very good point.
@@TwoTiredTeachers In case you're wondering why the animosity toward the arch, I'm from Kansas. We hate everything Missouri
We saw you guys in brownwood state park today
Yes, you did. Stop and say hello next time.

I know that maybe UT was out for spring break, but we didn't see any kids when we were there. Of course, it was later March. You might call and ask.
Fourteen for us
We loved our trips to Platt. As we said in the video, we always tried to get site 36 or 38.
