Day Five/Charlotte Teresa Plantation

Where Are Today

Charlotte Teresa Plantation

Today we were on the road at 9:25, leaving the Lucky Star  Casino on U.S. 81 for a short distance to put us back on I-40. 

Our spot, about 1/4 of the way up the lane.

Travelling across Oklahoma and Arkansas was one of smoothest drives we have had. So, except for the last 30 miles in Oklahoma, where the road was a little rough, I am going to give I-40 an 8.5 rating out of 10.

This sign was at the gate

We took exit 101 to AR113 S, which is a paved two lane highway to Kuhn Bayou Rd. to Willow Bend Rd. to Alldon Marie Rd, ( gravel roads) which brought us to this beautiful Pecan Plantation.

Through texts, our Harvest Host instructed us to where to park, rest up, and come up to the porch for 5:30. Here we met Billy and Charlotte the owners of this plantation. We were treated to smoked ribs and a bake bean and peach casserole, delicious.

For a little over an hour, we had great conversation and purchased some fudge and pecan brittle. Upon leaving we were invited to walk the grounds, take any pictures we wanted and pick up any pecans on the ground we wanted.

200 acres and 6000 trees that the two of them look after, plus the making of the fudge, brittle and candy

We highly recommend that if you are in the area to stop and enjoy this beautiful plantation and the great hospitality of Charlotte and Billy. 

As always, check out Pat's side of the day HER , and until the next time, take care.
