Memories of Clear Springs, Texarkana

   I’ve been slightly busy with a garage sale here, so I have been negligent in my blogging duties…However, I DID get lots of “stuff” cleared out of our basement..Next step: organize the basement so we can see the floor!  I need to say “Hey” to some new brave souls who have jumped in our pick up truck, waiting patiently for us to “make like a baby and head out”…(sorry about that one.)  Welcome to  Jerry and Wanda and also to Sheryl and Larry…I hope you enjoy our trip…You will have to fight over who sits by the window..we have quite a group riding in the truck…

  Dennis and I are still researching some places to potentially stay along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama…maybe Florida’s too…But, if we do decide to head toward Arizona, we will just deal with the fire bans (of any kind, even cooking outside) and I’ll just have McGuyver put on his apron and cook inside , or….we will do carry-outs ONLY, through the Lone Star state…. If any of you have heard of some good places, preferably State Parks or Corps sites , in those states, let  us know…HeckFire, McGuyver still isn’t in his combine, so we may be later getting out of here than we thought..BOO HOO!

 

These photos are from Texarkana, TX…Wright Patman Army Corps campground Clear Springs…We stay there almost every year on the way unless we dive right into Mississippi directly South…Sometimes it is better do take a straight line right down through Illinois to get out of the cold weather..Have I said just how absolutely BOOOORING  the state of Illinois is to drive through…lengthwise?? ..like watching paint dry.

Some of the sites at Clear Springs are deep in the pines…and some are out on the lake…I love ALL the sites at this park…There isn’t a bad one….And we old folks only pay $9.00 a night…

….Not sure if we will go this way again, or the do the yawner through the Land of Lincoln…but at this point I really don’t care..Just “get us outa here!!!!!”……There..I vented and I feel somewhat better..however cocktail hour is looming and I need some “happy juice” and Coke….Thanks for listening to me rant…I gotta work on getting my “smiley face” on again!
