Well we are back in the 21st century, technology wise. We enjoyed our stay at Lake Ouachita even though the weather altered some plans. All the sites here are very spacious and well laid out. We have since moved on to Bull Shoals/White river state park, home of excellent trout fishing.
No cell service, no internet, marginal satellite tv, no over the air tv. No, we are not deep in the Amazon but rather at Lake Quachita state park north of Hot Springs. Had to leave park and am sitting in car beside road to do this update. All is well and will catch up with pics and videos when we can. Tried to do video but speed is too sloooowww.
Weather forecasters make a nice living being wrong most of the time. Wish they were wrong now. Being just north of Texarkana, we are in the bulls eye. Don't care to drive in heavy rain, saw four wrecks yesterday, so will stay put.
We have swam our way into Arkansas safely. No heavy rain thankfully along the way. Almost have the place to ourselves, suspect cancellations as other sites reserved. A few issues have developed that may cause some changes in our plans, hopefully only minor and temporary.
Who planned this trip? Better question is guess where we are heading? Cooling our heels here at state park hoping it would move out. Weather dot com had it moving past in an hour or so. Beginning to think they were wrong.
Did not like my previous video editor so found a open source one on the net So far, so good but my learning curve is vertical. A tremendous amount to learn.
Eighty two years ago young men made it possible for us to enjoy this park. They were paid $30 per month, $25 of which they were required to send home to their families. The CCC's did a lot of lasting good during the dark days of the depression.
Weatherman says we are in for rain the next ten days. We move tomorrow to Millwood in Arkansas for three days. Luckily I brought a lot of books to read or can play/learn the video editor
Hope you enjoy this short tour of Daingerfield State Park
If you know me extremely well, you know my favorite song, of any genre, is Amazing Grace. While playing around on YouTube i found this French version that I love. Well the next video started playing before I left the page. Have played it repeatedly since .There is even a version they dance to the song. Get your Cajun on HERE
