Last we left after our arrival in Little Rock, AR. The RV park there is the North Little Rock RV park which is a city owned and operated park situated on the bank of the Arkansas river. Just above, and I mean almost looming above, the park is an old drawbridge which has been converted to a pedestrian bridge with the transom always raised. The bridge leads over the river to a park near downtown where the William Clinton Presidential library resides. Of course, thanks to the government shutdown, is closed.
Oh well, who needs a stinking presidential library anyway? It is a pretty bridge though.
Our next day took us across the state of Arkansas and stopped just before we left. We had to stop though, because it was the Tom Sawyer RV park and it was on the banks of the mighty Mississippi river. I mean literally a stone's throw from the water.
They also had fishing ponds on the property that were occasionally stocked by the flooding river. That meant that you could catch anything in there. I caught a small gar and Max caught two turtles. Mostly it was just relaxing for the kids and changing bait, tying hooks and lures for daddy.
The next day was back on the road with a destination of Lebanon, TN. We were staying in a state park there, Cedars of Lebanon. No phone, no wifi, no TV. It was a pretty park though. And I am glad Sarah made reservations because the government was shut down. That meant that all the national parks were closed and the campers who would be staying there flooded into the state parks. Sarah made reservations a week or so before, so we had a spot. The initial spot we chose was too tight of a fit, but they were able to shift us before the crowd arrived.
The next morning presented a challenge or two that we hadn't really expected and I almost made a colossal, unforgivable, idiotic mega mistake. Luckily and innocent bystander was there to prevent catastrophe.
That, however, deserves its own blog post.
Till next time.
