I was there too. We lived in Auburn from 1977 to 1987. I was on the 10 year plan! We were trailer park trash as most students were living off wire road in Stonegate Trailer park. Living on the west coast keeps me away from the loveliest plains! My last trip to Auburn was 1998 or 97 for the Auburn-Arkansa game (I think we lost )

That would have been '98 as Arkansas travels to AU during the even years. I don't think I could abide living that far away. We have been to all the games this year except Miss. State and will be in Tuska-loser Saturday. Cautious optimism for Saturday's game, but what the hey, 38-3, Auburn. BTW, boyfriend, now husband lived at Gentilly Trailer Park. We have just started doing the motor home thing for the games, so I guess we've come full circle!

I also briefly lived in both of your trailer parks (before moving even further out on wire road). Gentilly and Stonegate Trailer park were considered good locations. They had the bicycle lane on wire road into the campus and I once fancied myself a bicyclist until one day I overfilled my front bike tire and had it explode on me on the road. I did about 3 flips and tore all my clothes up and totaled my bike, bloody mess I was. I threw my bike in a dumpster and thumbed home and never did the bike thing again. LOL...

LOL, we were trailer park trash too, Dad/Mom was sending us three kids at once on very modest means (bless their hearts). I remember just how poor we were. Do you remember the sugar ants Auburn had, you couldn't leave a french fry laying around for 5 minutes in your car without a whole colony of ants invading. I bought some "captain crunch cereal" once as a treat (high dollar munchies back then). Anyway, the durn ants found em in the cabinet and it infuriated me, my special cereal was sacred and these pests had encroached on forbidden territory. I decided they must die, so I placed my box of sugar treats in the microwave and cooked on high for two minutes. My mistake was leaving the scene of the crime to use the bathroom and when I returned my whole kitchen area was engulfed in the most horrible black smoke you could imagine. It took days to clean my kitchen walls, floors, ect... and I still think to this day you probable can faintly smell the stench produced by CCC.

Just one of several dumb things I did back then. The bad check thing to McDonalds was another bad mistake. That was the most expensive Big Mac, Fries, and Dr. Pepper meal in the country. I can still see the veins popping out of my dad's head when I told him...LOL...I never wrote another bad check since then...***ouch***

I haven't been back to AU in years. I'm getting the memory itch now.
