It was a boring travel day. We were up at 7 and on the road at 8, since we wanted to get to West Memphis today. Last night we found a campground right on the Mississippi River. There wasn’t much else in-between. Bill called this morning, and they had room, so off we went.
In Oklahoma we did pass a beautiful large lake near a town called Lotawatah. We found that amusing since there were lots of towns with Indian names. And in Conway Arkansas there was Toad Suck Park. At 2, we pulled into a rest area, but it was totally full with mostly trucks, so we kept on to the next exit and found a vacant Walmart parking lot to rest and eat some lunch. When we got back on the interstate, it was all backed up. We were afraid there was an accident, but it turned out to be just a car fire. That took an additional 20 minutes.
We made it to the Tom Sawyer RV Park. It is truly right on the river, between the river and the levee. There are 3 rows of campers, and we are in the middle, but we still have a good view of the river. A large grassy area separates us all from the river. They have put benches along the grassy area, and most everyone was out this evening watching barges and other boats go by. Today's photo is from our bench along the river with the moon reflecting on the river.
We like it here so much we have decided to stay until Friday morning. After 3 long days of driving, we both decided we wanted a rest, and this is the perfect place to do it! We will just probably hang around here and go into Memphis if we can find a neat BBQ place to eat.
