Moved on to Arkadelphia

Monday morning arrived very wet in Hope Arkansas. We got up about 6:00 am and made our coffee. Sherri had to be at work at 8:00 and we had time to visit. She did not have far to drive from the RV park here so she did not have to rush. She hates to rush to work and I don’t blame her. Time seems to past fast, however, and soon she was having to get dressed and go out the door.

The rain came down all day here and I had little to do other than read some journals and. I have a good connection here but with not much to write about I just posted a news gram.

Check out time here is 11:00 am and I had told the guy checking us in that we might be a couple of hours late checking out due to Sherri working over. He said it would not be a problem so when she was two hours late we did not have to rush to get out. We really wanted to rush out of this place…being that it is not our kind of park…but it was nice of them to let us stay past the check out time.

When Sherri did arrive we pulled in the slides and I loaded up the outside stuff and before we knew it we were on the road to Arkadelphia. We had scoped out a Corp of Engineer park at DeGray Lake. We would go there first and see if they had any sites we could get into. So many of these older park sites are so short, longer RVs cannot get into them.

We arrived at the lake about 3:30 and I went in to see if they had any sites available for long trailers. Betty, the attendant was very nice and directed us to two sites that were long enough for our trailer. She took my information and told me that she would call me and see which site we took. When we  got down there we tried the first site and Sherri was not real comfortable about us parking on a grade. The second site was not much better. While we were trying to park in the second site Betty called. She said, “This is Betty Buck in the Booth”. Betty Buck in the Booth! I almost laughed…sounded like a comedy act. “Hello Betty Buck in the Booth” I said. We could not get into any of the sites that were there so I told her that we would just have to find another campground. There were some sites there that could accommodate our RV but Sherri is not one to perch on a hill and the ones that were flat and easy to get into were taken.

 

We found out that most all the sites at Edgewood park are not long enough for a large RV like ours.

We found several that we could get into but they were either taken or too steep for Sherri. She is a flat country kind of girl.

We said our good-byes to Betty Buck in the Booth and went back down to Arkadelphia Campground and RV Park. It is located just off the Interstate. We stopped in there and were assigned a real nice site next to a pond. These sites can accommodate two RVs back to back? I have never seen such a layout but it works for me. We have a nice place to stay for the next 4 days.

We got set up and then started thinking about where we were going to eat. We have such a tuff time picking places to eat. Sherri’s company pays for our food so we have a wide choice of places to pick from. We chose Cracker Barrel, just down the street from the RV park. We had a real good dinner and then went home to relax. I was going to get on chat but after I got home I kicked back in the recliner and fell asleep. Sherri woke me up about 10:00 and sent me off to bed. It did not take me long to get back to slumber land….

Somewhere in Time.
