Arriving at Lake Francis







We drove into the driveway and immediately saw the Pony Express Ride trailer and registration. The rider staff greeted us before we even got out of the truck with, “Hey are you Kari and Tracy from Georgia?!” We felt immediately welcome. Gee, how’d they know? I guess the trailer gave us away, because even though others came from long distances (turns out we were the farthest by a hair), we were one of only two parties arriving by trailer. And that’s how it was all week. Even long time Pony Express buddies really paid attention to everyone and their good time, and really reached out to make sure everyone felt important and included.

Lake Francis RV resort is very cute with a replica western town square housing the office, dining hall, restaurant, saloon, pool hall, etc. Somehow it’s not too kitsch. It’s in a sweet little valley, very scenic with the lake and shade trees. Our cabins are fairly new with kitchenette, futon sofa and 2 bedrooms. They have a whole RV and tent camping area that we barely saw until we did laundry.
