A Travel Week

We arrived in Nashville on Friday the 13th and set up in the campground for a 2-night stay. It poured down rain all weekend.

We left on Sunday and headed to Tom Sawyer’s Mississippi River RV Park in West Memphis, Arkansas. We enjoyed a nice view of a very full Mississippi River, only 2.5 feet below flood stage. We watched lots of barges being pushed up and down the river.

On Tuesday, April 17th, we headed to Little Rock, Arkansas for a 2-night stay at one of our favorite Corps of Engineer campgrounds. Maumelle is located on the Arkansas River which is very wide and deep here, compared to back in Colorado. It’s a nice park with lots of shade trees. To my surprise, we saw a push boat with 4 barges. I didn’t know barge traffic came up the Arkansas River.

Thursday we drove to Longview, Texas for an overnight stay at Fernbrook RV Park. We’ve stayed here several times before, because it’s close to our absolutely favorite barbeque place in the USA.

Anyone reading this blog needs to put Country Tavern, just outside Kilgore on Texas Highway 31, on your bucket list. They have the best pork ribs on the planet.

   

We drove through Houston last Saturday morning. The traffic wasn’t too bad as we headed to Goliad State Park for a rainy overnight stay. We left Goliad on Sunday morning and arrived at Victoria Palms RV Resort in Donna, Texas. We’re here for a 2-week stay to visit Julie’s sister Cindy and brother-in-law Terry. We welcomed the warm weather here with daytime highs in the low 80s.
