Texarkana to Memphis

We began our drive by 9:30 this morning.  This Four State Fairground RV Park was nice to spend the night.

We arrived at Tom Sawyer's Mississippi River RV Park.   This is where we first met Sue and Mark Didelot about three years ago.   We were here with Richard and Patsy King on our way to attend the FMCA Rally in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Greg and Mandy were traveling with the Didelots at that time.  We had a nice BBQ here that time.

I LOVE that park. It really doesn't have much to offer except those wonderful views. But that's what it's all about. See you soon.
