November 12-13, 2015 Travel to Texas

November 12th

Very early this morning, my Dusty got sick and awake I was.  So after cleaning up, I decided to stay up and watch the sun rise over the Mississippi:

We packed up and continued our journey west – saying goodbye to the Mississippi and see you next year:

We passed farms and churches:

And trees and trucks:

Over many waterways and rivers – that are very full:

More trees and trucks:

Into Texas:

Where we are staying at Malden Lake Campground near Maud – an Army Corp Park – very nice:

After setting up we took a walk around the park:

Many vultures around – it was very interesting to watch them:

Apparently they hang around near the boat dock – fish cleaning area – lots to eat – !

We did a few things around the motorhome and then relaxed for the rest of the evening.

We woke to a very beautiful morning and made our way to the local laundry to do a few loads (cleaning yesterday’s mess) – our Dusty is much better today – YEA!

We enjoyed the rest of the day at our campfire in the woods:

Tomorrow we continue our journey so stay tuned and enjoy today.

Storms coming in:

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:

Our site along the river – we decided to treat ourselves:

View of the barges going by from our front window:

We took a little walk along the waterfront until the winds drove us inside:

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.
