Arkansas

After spending last night in OKC with Aunt Miche, we finished the drive today into Arkansas. Aunt Miche took the kids to the toy store and told them she would buy them whichever toy they wanted if Mom and Dad approved. There was much deciding and re-deciding before they walked out with a toy submarine being attacked by a giant squid and a sperm whale and a boat. They play well together.

It was great to see Miche and I hope she comes up to see us.

It was good to finally get out of the desert environment and back into something with rivers and elevation changes. I do like me some mountains. These in no way compare to the Pacific Northwest, but after Del Rio they are very nice. I bet it will be a beautiful Spring.

The RV park here at Monte Ne is our type of place. It is way out in the middle of nowhere. We have already seen a herd of deer 15 strong. WE are getting used to the fact that the campgrounds we like need and will tolerate a little customization. Cutting limbs, digging and piling dirt to get level, things like that. We don't like the neatly manicured, trimmed and tidied parks. We like it a little wilder and this one fits the bill nicely. I will try to post some pictures later.

There are some RV stores nearby too, that will help us get some little things fixed. We also need to wash IRV after the trip. Lots of things to do. But tonight, rest. It wasn't a long trip, but it was a trip and we earn a short recovery.
