Travel day to Arkansas

Today we made the 230 mile trip to Ashdown, Arkansas escaping Texas after over a month there.  We are in a membership ROD park called Millwood Landing.  We currently plan to spend 4 nights here resting up and head to West Memphis to watch the Mississippi and some tugboats and barges.

 

Camo cat & Ennin, TX

Well,  I blew it!  Again.  At 6 last night we went to a restaurant to meet Haleigh and Dallas.  This is the first time we have met Dallas, Haleigh's fiancee.  She moved to Texas last fall to be with him.  They seem to be very much in love and a happy couple.  It has been quite awhile since we have seen Haleigh also.  Judy and I had an enjoyable visit!  I blew it because I forgot to get some pictures!! 

Yesterday evening we were outside enjoying the weather and water, Patches wanted out and there is nothing around us so out she went.  She wandered over to the edge of the lake and after awhile decided to lay low.  See her above?

Here's a closer look.  Beware, she's on duty.

Today we made a short 130 mile drive to Ennis, TX and another COE park for one night.

I like the view here a bit better than the last couple days.  I'm glad no one was around, after getting into one site OK we discovered the water didn't work so returned to the off ice for a different site, this one took many many unsuccessful attempts before I finally got backed in.

NORTHBOUND! Devyn & Randy here we come!

Time to head north for Randy's pasture and Devyn!

We made the short 163 mile trip to Union Grove Corp of Engineers park in Salado, TX on Stillhouse Hollow Lake.  The place is almost empty, last night there were two other RVs we could see in the loop we are in, this morning they are gone and no one else to be seen.  Judy said we could run around the campground naked and no one would know, even jump in the lake 20 feet behind us.  She wants to block more tires when we hook up so our home doesn't roll into the lake.  The temps have really dropped, it  was only 58 at 3:30 pm with 25 mph winds out of the north.  It looks and feels like winter and snow.  Judy nuked some chili for lunch and the heat pumps are pumping.  For supper she warmed up leftover mac and cheese and ham and we had the last of her home made applesauce.  In the morning the sun was out and it's still 58 and windy but sunny!  

On Wednesday we went to a great little German restaurant for lunch, Opa's Schnitzel Hut.  This was the best schnitzel we have had since we have been on the road!

 I think our traveling home is larger than the restaurant.

And that's the truth!

Last pot luck and last trip to Classic Burger

Here's a couple of the locals here at the campground.

Here's the last 10 of us at yesterdays last potluck dinner.

Today we had to return to Classic Burger one more time before we leave in the morning.
