I spent Christmas Eve, Christmas and the weekend at Staybridge Suites just about 8 miles away. Nice room with a full kitchen that was stocked with dishware and pots and pans. so it seems to be set up for people using it as an apartment if necessary. So I loaded in my suitcase, my groceries, my litter box, my cat food, my two cats, my computer, my jackets, did I forget anything??!!😛 Good grief. Gumble is so easy to transfer…
The Three Musketeers To continue….After I had pulled onto the spur road, and Rosie and Jason left, I started making phone calls to the RV dealership I wanted it towed to. I also made contact with the tow truck company and the driver…Quintin. We ended up phoning each other quite a bit as to where I was and where the RV was going and the condition of the RV so he knew what kind of vehicle to bring to tow…
Well today (Dec. 21 ) held some surprises for me! So I’m going to tell you about one of them right away! 🤗 Today was moving day. So after dumping my tanks, I was on the road by 9:45 a.m. . I had 265 miles to drive to Palmetto State Park. It is 65 miles east of San Antonio, Texas. The state highways down to Houston were pretty good and then I took a relatively newly constructed bypass around the…
On Dec. 11th, I traveled 225 miles from Arkansas into Texas to Martin Dies Jr. State Park. The roads were state highways and in really good shape! I did not have to dodge poorly patched areas, holes, etc. No road construction! The trip took just over 4 1/2 hours with one 15min. stop. Unfortunately I drove through a lot of rain!! It had been raining off and on overnight but I was fortunate enough to have a 1 hour window…
I have driven south from Creator of Diamonds State Park to this park. It’s on Millwood Lake and it’s a real lake! It does not have a forest of cypress trees growing in it and it is much deeper! It is another man-made lake. The state park is in the shadow of the causeway and the dam. My site is just wonderful. I really like it here! As you can see I have a view right down the bay to…
Part –I : The Dig Begins “It Looked Like More Fun on the Website!” (me) DAY 1 Well, to begin, I waited and first arrived at the field area around 11:30 a.m. because it was in the high 30s in the morning! Now it was hitting the 40s!! But at least it was sunny!! 🌞 I had my bucket, chair, kneepads, little rake, screens, trowel, gloves, hat drinks and snack. I decided to ditch the shovel. Still a bunch of…
Crater of Diamond State Park, Murfreesboro, Arkansas Let the search begin!! I drove up here from Lake Bistineau State Park today through much appreciated sun! It was SO good to have sun again after 3 days of rain off & on and clouds. A 3 hour drive, but real good roads for a change! So, this park is the site of a former massive volcano that brought up diamonds from the deep. The first diamond was found in 1906 here….
