Arkansas and the cooling tower

Thursday, January 31st


Yet another great state park.  This time, we camped near Russellville, Arkansas at Lake Dardenelle State Park.  There were, once again, very few campers except us.  We camped right on the lake.  It was cold and crisp in the afternoon, but sunny.  Patricia and I took our dogs for a long walk along the lake, it felt so good to stretch our legs.  After a while, we took them off their leashes and they ran through the leaves that had fallen the previous fall wildly.  Lucy is getting much better at returning the ball when it is thrown, but still likes to play keep-away.  We dined on left overs which were just as good the second time around.  I’m becoming convinced that winter camping is the way to go if you like wide open spaces and very few neighbors.  Yes, it is cold and sometimes snowy but if you bundle up well, that’s OK. 

This morning we are heading toward Memphis for a two night stay.  We’re staying at the Tom Sawyer RV park, right on the river.  While here, we will get the truck oil changed, do laundry, wash the Airstream and truck and so some trailer cleaning.  Then, off for the fun!  Will keep you posted tomorrow assuming we can make bail ;-)
