Buddy of mine just sold his camp right near it. Remember hearing some wild stories about the place, but never ventured. Funny thing is there is a run way, airport strip right next to it in the middle of bumfrick Sabine parish. I asked my buddy if this was a drug drop zone. He said yes it was a drop zone alright, but not drugs, whores from Dallas and Houston.

Yes - we had a place on the lake near there in the early 80’s - late 90’s. That place was nuts. And I heard lots of stories about the use of the airstrip.

Ethel Jones was quite a character. The Driftwood was a go to spot in high school. There were a few fights, every now and then, but always a good time. The crowd was a combination of hookers, rednecks, businessmen, and politicians.

All I can say was that place was magical as a young adult and good times.

Our camp is right down the road and we still launch at the Ethel’s ramp. Not many people even know it’s there so it’s usually just us, even during the spawn.

Went in there when I was maybe 20 and a long, long time ago. I remember the locals went crazy when Smoke on the Water played on the jukebox. The local clubbers danced like crazy. They didn't have very good moves but better than ours. Our group wanted to chuckle but decided it was best to just leave before we got focused on to get our arses kicked.
