We’re out of the woods

 We had to come out.  It’s Sunday and the Broncos are playing.  Manning versus Manning.  Couldn’t miss that. Lufkin RV Park, Lufkin, TX. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=201563872774147443355.0004e02f0c80f1461c0bf&msa=0&ll=38.719805,-84.199219&spn=11.563316,26.784668 An RV park in town, nothing special, but it’s got a clear view of the sky for our Satellite dish.  Go Broncos!  …but before we leave the subject of Caddo Lake State Park entirely, let me say one more time, “What a Place!” A panorama:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33zpYhE-094     …and birds too…

Food, fuel, camp fees, and trinkets

 Life is simple. Morning on the Mississippi. As we were leaving Ontario, we decided to take our time on the way back south; maybe just float with the weather.  Maybe drive 250 miles in a day, then stay two nights at every stop.  Take time to explore each location. Well, we’re holding to the 250 miles (or less) per day, but each morning we consider if we want to stay another day or move on, and so far we just keep moving.  Now we’re at Catherine’s Landing RV Resort.  Hot Springs, Arkansas. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=201563872774147443355.0004e02f0c80f1461c0bf&msa=0&ll=38.719805,-84.199219&spn=11.563316,26.784668  Nice place.

I only used one puppy for bait

 …and I didn’t actually stick a hook in him.  I just rubbed a little peanut butter on his face, tied him on the line, and dropped him in.  I was ready to yank him out really quick if he was in any real danger. It was a crazy dream and doesn’t really mean a thing.  I promise I never intend to actually fish with puppies for bait.  The nature of that dream, however, leads me to reconsider whether that late-night pancake and eggs dinner was all that great an idea in spite of the Amish dark maple syrup that was so yummy though. Now we’re in Arkansas.  We stopped for the night at Tom Sawyer Mississippi River RV Park. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=201563872774147443355.0004e02f0c80f1461c0bf&msa=0&ll=38.719805,-84.199219&spn=11.563316,26.784668 We can see barges out the windshield (and a river too).  First bird in the last state:  Mourning Dove.  Now we’ve recorded at least one bird in all 49 states!
