We left Memphis at about 1:00pm yesterday. We had to charge the AC in the camper.... Blowing nice and cold now! We decided to forgo Hot Springs- renovations taking place that limit hours of Visitor Center so by the time we got there the visit would have been too short to be worth the extra drive. So we forged on, listening to local music channels...classic country- Johnny Cash, Clint Black, Garth brooks, Glen Campbell, etc. Gotta blast the country when you're driving through Arkansas! Saw a few armadillo road kills :((
Made it to Hope, birthplace of president Clinton and pulled into an RV park for the night. No sooner had we jumped in the pool when the lifeguard told us it was closed for a private party! :((
So we made the best of it. Cooked salmon on the grill and played Yahtzee. Then there was a knock on our door. It was the lifeguard telling us the party was over and he was " locking up", but if we were real quiet we could use the pool and lock up ourselves when we were done. What a nice guy!!
Needless to say, we were practically the only RV there last night, so I'm sure he assumed the risk was small. I think he felt bad for Bridget when he'd had to ask us to leave because of the party. She had been totally bummed. Anyway, all's well that ends well! We stayed up til 11:00 swimming... Our latest night yet! Lol!
Stocked up on propane and Coleman fuel at Walmart then hit the road early this morning for Dallas. We cruise at about 57 mph and now that the weather is hot makes sense to get the driving in early in the day.
Going to the Rangers/Reds game tonight!!
PS: We saw the Rev Jesse Jackson at the Peabody hotel yesterday. It was funny because it was just before 11:00, and when he emerged from the elevator folks were already anticipating the ducks. He just smiled and waved and said "fooled you!"..... Then of course he blessed us all :))
Passing the time watching Yogi Bear and Smurfs :))
