Whoever wrote the words Possum Kingdom across the map for the first time should have worked on the name a little longer. More than likely there is story here that I have not heard, but I would guess that a quick online survey would come up with a title that had a slightly better connotation. To me Possum Kingdom just does not conjure up images of a beautiful place to relax, recreate, and enjoy oneself. That is, of course, unless you are a possum.
Regardless, our short trip to PK was all of those things without the possums. We enjoyed our time greatly and appreciated the invitation from Tricia and the rest of the Durand family. Kelly was bound for ABQ on Sunday so I was destined for a drive eitherway. We decided to take Tricia up on her offer and put a stopover at the Lake in Kelly's run to the airport.
The Durand Lake house is a great place to relax however there are very few dull moments. Perhaps that is due to the pack of dogs that descend upon the house when Tricia graciously invites her friends (and thier dogs). The weekend was no different as we had enough dogs to start a small circus, that is if any of them minded their owners and knew any good tricks.
Wether it was the swimming, dogs, fireworks, wakeboarding or the great food, we look forward to the next time we can return to the land of the possum. Watch the Video
