Arkansas River is huge and beautiful!!
We spent last night at Red Rock Canyon, OK...a state park that we found on the map. It was awesome! Alot of people come here to rapell the hillsides, it seems like nothing to people in CA but here I guess it's somethng else! IT was a state park, so $18.00 (because we are Good Sam members 20.00 w/o)...electricity, water and pay showers...(6 min for $1.00) I could barely get internet up, which is why I am updating today...had an awesome night there...then this am we got up early (yes we set the alarm)..and were out of there before 0900. On the way out we saw a couple of cabover campers coming in...and I said to Ken...look there's a cabover rally and no one told us...so as we're leaving I was trying to mail some cards, they passed us and stopped. Had a nice conversation with two gentlemen from the cabovers...and yes they were headed to a rally in TX!!
We exchanged some info and off we went, as they headed south to the rally...if we weren't headed for TN we would have been tempted to join them! Hope John and John are having an awesome time!!! Hope to see u both down the road!!
So we headed down the highway...eventually we stopped to have lunch at a rest area..a man from AZ stopped next to us in his uhaul..moving from AZ to TN...asked if he could take pictures of the Barracuda...that car is a magnet!!
Headed out of OK into AR and here we are at Spadra COE campground..electricity, water nearby and showers...Well, if we would have stopped at a National Monument or Park we could have got Ken's pass..and instead of the $16.00 we're paying it would have been $8.00...gotta get this man to a park for his Golden Access Pass...!!!
Sat outside for awhile and told Ken stories of fond memories of Clarksville, where my grandparents lived..and how Daddy brought Momma here in 1949 after she came from Austria...and they slept in a bed and mom told daddy..."we've gotta get your mom some blankets...she's sewing rags together to make blankets...she didn't know it was a hand stitched quilt...or how daddy sent my Aunt Ola (his sister) $$$ to buy some clothes for my mom...how sweet is that!?...and of course for us kids (well not anymore) but us cousins got together every year for a week or two...so incredible!! so MANY good memories here in Clarksville, ARKANSAS!!
