Crater of Diamonds 

State Park 

Murfreesboro, AR

Our campsite, Crater of Diamonds State Park...Arkansas

 Our first night Ken bar b qued chicken and it was awesome!   We had a nice night just enjoying the outside and people watching!  Thursday morning I had to go to town before we went diamond hunting.  Got birthdays coming up (Eric on Sat...39! and grandson Adam on Monday 15!)  so found a little shop that was full of stuff and finally found a couple of cards and got them on the way...Murfreesboro is a cute little town.  Older and you wonder how things make it but it seems to survive!  We were able to find propane there too.

 So after that back to the park to do some diamond hunting..$8.00 per adult lets you hunt all day.  Can't believe how many people are out there and some with all kinds of equipment, amazing!  Luckily it was perfect weather, about 70 or so I'd say.  So we spent a little time from about 1100 to 1300 in the field and then out to the camper for lunch.  Afterwards we went back to try our luck again..but as expected...nothing..but that's ok one more item off the "bucket list"...

The parking lot...license plates from everywhere!

Ok..just had to have this pic..older Dodge 2500..pulling this HUGE toyhauler!
