I am off to Louisiana on Dec. 20th. I hear the big lake is being kept at 168 feet as agreed to by the power company and the legislatures/river authority. I will be going up and down the lake and assess the growth and possible amenities of the area as a retirement/resort area. I may be able to buzz over to Big Sam--Sam Rayburn Lake--as well. Will get a handle on Louisiana real estate taxes as being low enough to off-set the state income tax as opposed to the opposite situation on the Texas side.
I will stay at the same cabin I was at this Summer for 3 weeks. Big lake view and nice breeze even in the July heat. Very Comfortable with only ceiling fans on. I think it may be a bit cold now--a wood frame cabin set high on a bank with lots of breeze and set off the ground on pilings!
But the rental agent says it has central heat. How long that will last with single pane windows, no insulation, and tin roof I do not know! We shall see.
I will report back once I thaw out back in Florida.
But I decided long ago that big water views were my passion and this cabin gives me that. So long for now. God Bless. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Let the Good Times Roll!
