Enjoying Spyders on the Bayou

[PrairieSpyder]

I'm really enjoying the event, meeting new people and reconnecting with old acquaintences. I rode to CruzrJoe's in Bryant, Ark, where he'd said I could stay with him on the way to La. But both his guest-rooms were occupied with others, so I stayed next door with Sheila's sister, Kathy, and her husband, Roy, who also rides a Spyder. I'd been watching the weather reports and was considering turning back to home, but decided to stay another night and visiting Harvey's (Spyderpops) shop for an oil change at a good price. The price turned out to be higher since I learned of all sorts of things LED that I didn't even know I needed!! Funny how that happens. So Wednesday, I rode down to the Bayou event with Joe and three other guys. :yikes:

The vendors are set up in the host hotel parking lot. The host hotel, Holiday Inn Express, is great. I finally got to met Yazz (Joy) at dinner at Spahrs (pronounced "spaaaas"). The company was good and the good was great - fried green tomatoes with a crab roummalade for appetizer (and I should have stopped there), catfish chips with sweet potato fries. Tomorrow we'll be served a catered meal at the host hotel and then there's a crawfish boil at a dealer in Houma on Saturday evening. The registration was today and the weather was much better than predicted. Even if the weather craps out the next two days, I think I'm going to eat well here. :bbq:

This picture reminds me of what I told folks when I moved from Illinois to Louisiana in 1991. I was tired of looking at corn and hogs so thought I'd go look at swamps and gators for awhile!
