October 16th ...Tuesday..Cornersville, Tn..We left Cornersville, TN this am and are headed for home...(CA...and Winnemucca)...but I need to tell the story..as this is the 21st when I am posting...
We left on the 16th..and now it is the 21st of October...we are in Carlsbad, NM at Carlsbad Caverns National Park..Whites City RV Park..we left and haven't really had service since so I haven't been able to update..so I am trying to catch up right now..
October 16th..We left Cornersville..I took pics of the morning, thinking I would post them later today..not...
WE have been watching a cute little white cow..we named him/her Rudolph..like the reindeer..poor guy is the only white cow out of the whole herd...for awhile seemed like his mommy didn't even like him..so hence the name Rudolph...I took good pics this morning of him, so Don and Dana can keep us up to date on him...
1st night we ended up at a rest area just inside of Arkansas..We had a nice drive from Don's place, took highway 64 which we really like. Took a wrong turn and ended up on I40 sooner than we planned..lots of traffic going into Memphis so we decided to hit up a State Park and spend the night. Little did we know how far that decision was going to take us. We headed to a town called Middleton and then started looking for the park. Followed the signs until they ended with no directions to get to the park...so we turned around for about 50 mi and crossed over into Ar. by then it was getting late so we decided to spend the night at the rest area which was really very nice. Got up and headed out!
Second night we made it to Lake Ouchita..near Hot Springs AR...great night had a wonderful time and so beautiful! No service, but ok...Santa was there vacationing with a few friends, maybe some elves too! The lake is so pretty! Got up the next am and eventually got ready to go! We took a walk and took some pics..it's a state campground in Arkansas and we paid $20.00. Nice deal..
Eventually we left, and about six miles into I was looking for the camera and couldn't find it! We went back looking all over and never found it! I am pretty sure I left it on the front of the truck..as we came back from our walk, truck was locked and it was out of batteries...sucks...we went to the wal mart in hot springs ar and bought another camera. Would have like an easy share , but not happening..bought a nikon supposed to be easy to upload...yeah right...
We left there and headed to Queen Wilhemena State Park in Arkansas...beautiful drive!! Up the mountains and then the campground...had a lovely night...cool but great..electric and water hookups..again $18.00...can't beat it..showers too...and beautiful!!
Then we took the drive over AR into OK...who would've thought that OK had the mountains it does!! Beautiful....down the mountain and we found a mexican restaurant and had a nice lunch..ended the day at Durant, OK at the KOA at Choctow Casino...omg...the bathrooms were incredible...like a high (and I mean high) end hotel!! the sights were big, beautiful pool..just a great place to spend the night...
We got up the next day...and didn't leave until 1100..don't quite know what takes us so long, but just enjoying I guess...so anyway spent the night at Lubbock TX KOA...didn't get there till after 2000 and it was sooo dark..stressful drive getting there..but nice night once we were there...
Drove this am to Carlsbad, NM stocked up at Wal Mart and now we are at White's City RV Park...it definitely seems alot older than when we were here...Ken and I were here several years ago when we visited this National Park.. Tonight we drove the 7 miles to the park to watch the bat flight...well guess most of the bats are gone to Mexico for the winter, but still fun to watch..if you're here in the summer, nightly they may see 2 million bats ...i would say tonight we were lucky to have seen 75..but that's ok still beautiful! Tomorrow we'll take the cavern tour and then go from there!
Tonight as I'm writing this..the winds are howling and the camper is shaking!! Love it!
The only negative of the whole trip so far is losing my camera, and now not being able to get the Nikon to load the pics ...just as i had the easy share figured out and no probs loading...kills me...so eventually there will be pics here...just not sure if I have to get to Reno to do it! I'll keep trying...so keep looking!!
