Friday morning we woke up to another cloudy day. Sherri did not have to work and we are going to spend the day enjoying the park here. Coffee was made and we set outside on the patio. The weather was delightful and the wind was blowing just enough to cool you off. Why couldn’t the weather be like this all the time? We will enjoy it as long as it last. We also have an Internet connection here and Sherri jumped on to see where she was going this next week. According to the posted work schedule she would be in Arkansas next week and a call to her boss confirmed this.
We spent most of the morning planning our route there and checking on places to stay. Sherri found a park in Hope Arkansas that we could spend one night at and then move on to our final destination…Arkadelphia. On our way back we wanted to try out a State Park close to Poison Springs. I will have to call and see if we can even get it there. If anyone out there knows anything about this park let me know. We also want to check out DeGray Lake while we are up there. I have read many good things about this lake. I am not sure about the campgrounds and whether or not we can get in there with our rig.
OK so now we have that all planned and we can do something exciting like go buy groceries. We are in need of supplies. We have not been to the store in some time and our food stuff is running out. We don’t like to haul too much when we travel and usually stock up once we reach out destination. We are out of so much that we will have to stock up some and then finish out our list once we get to Arkansas.
We closed the restaurant down and were very full when we left. Thanks Jim for the dinner!
One thing I missed posting was out trip to Canton Texas to see Jim and June…my sister and brother-in-law. We went to their trailer late Sunday night. We had such a good visit. It had been some time since our last visit and we really had a good time. We decided to go out to eat and found a good Mexican food restaurant. We had a real good meal and visited more. We are trying to make some plans on going to Galveston and staying for a month just to spend time with them. We have so much fun when we are all together. I am sure these plans will get made and we will have time together….

I haven't been to Poison Springs, it's an historic civil war kinda place in Camden and it's not the prettiest part of Arkansas. Been through there a several times.
If you've never been to Arkansas, let me know. DeGray is a knockout. The Lodge there is very nice. Houseboats are common as are sailboats. I've camped many times there as well as stayed at the Lodge which has a great dining area. Very very nice place.
Here's their site

Hot Springs is just a hop skip straight up Highway 7, a designated scenic highway... lots of beautiful country on the eastern side. The western side is flat ... you've seen enough of that in Texas... LOL

jeez.... it's the eastern side that's flat... heading toward the Delta ... DeGray is west of 30 and minutes from Arkadelphia on Hwy 7. Take Exit 78 and go to the Park Headquarters ... even that's a nice area!
This is my home country... just moved from Hot Springs a couple of months ago.
Glad to hear from you. Looks like June and Jim are doing good.
Have fun in Arkansas.
I have heard DeGray is good, but don't know about Poison Springs.
Hugs to you both!
