West Memphis, Arkansas

We had a glorious, sunny morning Monday.  It made packing up easier.  Since our drive was a short one we took our time packing up.  Another thirty minutes or so at the dump station and we were on the road shortly after 1100



The Pelicans came by to say goodbye!

The drive was easy with just a little construction and a lot of bumpy interstate...made a stop for lunch.  Shortly after 1400 we checked into Tom Sawyer Mississippi River RV Park

I was torn between setting up and taking pictures of the river traffic

Jim used to work on the river in New Orleans and again at Baton Rouge...neither one of us tire of watching 'boats on the water'

We were both stunned at how low the 'Mighty Mississippi' is

As you can see it was a gorgeous, sunny afternoon too

 

Finally got all my setting up chores done so we both sat and enjoyed a cold beer

Watching the boats slowly make their way up and down the river

 

Very relaxing....dinner was tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches

We Hate to Leave

The past few days we've been doing our usual routine....some TV, gaming and Netflix.  We did go out for pizza and beer Friday and some fuel for our trip tomorrow.

I had hoped to see more fall color but apparently this is as good as it gets here at Willow Beach COE

 

There were some pretty trees planted at the local Lowe's

 

I will miss this little island we can see from our site

 

This beautiful hawk was looking for dinner, I'm sure.  I couldn't get closer, the first step I took he flew off




We had a wicked storm pass through last night and it woke all three of us.  Driving rain, thunder and wind!  Still gloomy when I got up but by noon the clouds parted and the sun came out.  As I type this it's in the middle 70's and very breezy.

Jim has been outside getting the tires ready for travel and packing up some stuff.  Now it's time for some football.  The Saints aren't playing so we'll cheer on the New York Giants...we are fans of Eli Manning

Tomorrow we head to West Memphis, Tom Sawyer Mississippi River RV Park...
