UNCERTAIN ???
Yes, there really is a place named Uncertain and it is in the great state of Texas. You have to know where you are going to find it but I know it is there because I have been there many times as we have relatives that live there. It is located on the west side of Caddo Lake in east Texas. Caddo Lake is a swampy lake that is in both Texas and Louisiana. Uncertain got its name when they were applying to be incorporated and nobody knew what the name of the place was so "Uncertain" was put on the map and it is still there. TRUE OR NOT?
In the same area there are some other interesting places to drive past. The big white house is where Lady Bird Johnson was raised. She was President Lyndon Johnson's wife. This is in Karnack, Texas.
There is also the Confederate cemetery, Scottsville/Youree, located close by in Scottsville, Texas. There is an old chapel on the grounds and many Civil War veterans and other interesting people are buried there. It is a beautiful place to take pictures with lost of big trees, shrubs, flowers, and old tomb stones.
Another place that is fun to visit in that same area is the T. C. Lindsey & Company General Store located in Jonesville, Texas. It is probably a hundred years old or more. They will serve you pops, cheese, cakes and pies. Also they have a wonderful supply of items of interest to buy such as cook books, toys and too many things to mention, and just about anything you might not expect.
Many of the houses are built right on the water and yes they do flood quite often but these people just seem to dry out and start over.
One of the things I enjoy the most is the Spanish moss that covers all the trees. You have to take a boat ride to see all the beauty of the area.
Shady Glade is a tasty place to start the day off with a good old fashioned breakfast and then stop in later at the River Bend Restaurant for the most delicious plate of fried catfish.
CAUTION!
If you go to Uncertain be Certain you know where you are going!
