With the storms and the winds coming in, we decided to come off the road a little early.  Here is the entrance to Tom Sawyer’s RV Park in West Memphis, AR:

They even have a free laundry so I did two loads of wash.  We enjoyed the rest of the evening, watching the barges, listening to the wind and the rain.  What a nice treat to have this view.

Hi Friends! We've been enjoying reading about your travels! Don't you just love parking by the river and watching those barges? We got to do that last spring. So interesting! Looking forward to seeing you this winter. Hugs, J&C
