hi, we travelled east on Rt 40 from OK City headed towards Russellville(just had to stay there) but it was early so we kept going, plus there were no Russellville signs to take pictures of. We headed off the exit for Conway, AK and called ahead to the park but they were full so we found a "Toads Suck Park" corp of army engineer park right on the Arkansas river. There is a lock on one side of the river and dam gates to raise and lower the river. the park is a wide open area with huge old trees along the banks and throughout the park. No cable but had the best antenna reception ever.
3/11 we drove from Toad Suck park around Little Rock ,AR and around Memphis, TN and arrived here at Jackson RV park in Jackson, TN. It was a nicely advertized place and other then being setup in a tar parking lot and within reach of the trucks on Rt I40 it isn't too bad. Only one nite so we can deal with it just fine. I just called the park for the next 2 nites, just north of Nashville and made the reservation and also reserved tickets for Saturday nite "Grand Ole Opry". I don't have a clue as to who is playing or what the price is but at least we'll make it to the show. They have a shuttle that will take us to and from the park. That park is actually susposed to have a pool and other many aminities. We'll see.
Diesel fuel prices are all over the chart and we never know what we'll be paying from one place to another. It looks like some place between $3.79 and $4 is the average around here.
Still having fun and do enjoy our talks with family and friends. Looks like we will be able to hook up with Bill and Lea in Ohio and then the Conners in PA. We are really looking forward to seeing them all. Our trip is on the waine but not rushing it. With all the trees starting to bloom and grass turning green it feels like we should be getting home to ready the garden but I wiill NOT shovel snow to plant peas!!
handing off tomy bestest travelling partner in hopes she can clearify this rambling. love ya all, Russ
(He's just so darn cute!-Linda) It will be nice to get home, but we are still enjoying the trip and travelling. We'll see you all soon-I hope. Love-Linda
I was going to suggest that you check out the Gibson store in the Opry Mills Mall next to the Grand Ole Opry but it seems that the whole mall may still be closed from the flooding last year. You could watch the workers actually make Gibson guitars there. The Bass Pro shop is also amazing but just going to the Opry itself will be fantastic! We miss you guys and can't wait until you get back for an ole fashion tea time gathering.
