This was our next stop in Texas.  4 nights.  All in all a nice, quiet park.

Our neighbor across the street, Todd, was in the 1st Infantry Division (the Big Red One) during Desert Storm.  He, of course, was in a different location than I, doing the lion's share of the work.  That rig next to his truck unravels into quite a large tent complex, complete with an A/C.

More neighbors :)

We finally got in a little hiking...5.3 miles this time :)

This could quite possibly lead to an unfortunate outcome.....

We made it!  :)
We arrived on time for a week with friends and playing music until our fingers hurt.  Wendy finally got back to playing her bass and we had a wonderful time!

Dwaine and Nancy were our next door neighbors.  Dwaine shared a "mod" with me and I will soon attempt to duplicate his table.

Here are some pictures of the grounds.  We've been to this park 3 times now and nothing really changes but for the friends and good times we have enjoyed.

I think Wendy is going to straighten me out about something.  There's no place to hide around here!

Larry and Debbie, organizers of this event, are taking a much deserved rest.  What a fantastic job they (and many helpers) did!

Time to break camp and move on.

Jan and Mike were kind enough to let me take this picture.  I was honored to shake the hand of a Purple Heart recipient! 

I caught Todd and Randy cuttin' up here.

Chick and Kathy are quite the musical duo!  They play many songs on their Ukuleles :)  We hope to see them again at the Blue Bonnet Rally next month.

We're very thankful Howard caught up with us before we left the rally.  We really enjoyed his singing and guitar playing!

Trivia question...….can anyone guess who this is?

Pre-beard :) 

After Arkansas we left for Tunica, Mississippi.  We only spent 2 nights there (in Tunica) and it was pretty tame this time, until we left in the middle of a severe weather event.  Tornadoes hit parts around us and in Texas, our destination.  Wendy navigated us around the tornadoes, keeping us 50 or so miles away, until we reached Grapeland, Texas.  At least the driving rains washed off the film of bugs from the truck and trailer.

We started out on time!  Hooray!!!!

I wish I had taken a departure picture of Gwyn and Belle.  We hope to be back to see them on Gwen's birthday, at the end of October :) 

We left for a Cracker Barrel in Adairsville, Ga. and another in Arkadelphia,Ar. 

A tight squeeze but fine since we were there first :)  Really good food and very friendly folks.

As I may have mentioned in another post or two, Wendy does not like to be cold.  She managed a pose and a smile in spite of the temps.

I thought I was seeing things when I passed a tree covered with shoes.  I missed the photo op but was able to download a picture from the internet.  You can get most anything off the internet, lol.  It turns out that many places around the country follow this tradition.  I couldn't find a reason for this practice for the one in northern Alabama.

We will depart on Saturday for our new adventures!!  We are very thankful for all that has been put before us and look forward to showing ya'll the roads we will travel :)  We hope and pray for many wonderful blessings in your lives and look forward to the times we will be together again :)  Thank you for being with us.
