Heading for Home!
We are planning to get out early this morning to beat the heat.
We started out early yesterday, at 7:45. We stopped for breakfast at a Cracker Barrel in Goodyear, AZ. This will be our last Cracker Barrel "fix"for awhile!
We stayed in Ehrenberg, AZ at the River Breeze RV Park. It was full of boaters on the Colorado River celebrating Memorial Day. It was very hot during the day, but cooled off in the evening.
When we get home we have to catch up on everything, then we are going to the SW Computer Conference in San Diego on June 1- 5. We're going directly from there to a RV rally in Lake Elsinore with the Kamper Klub until June 10.

It was a hot and windy drive to Tucson, AZ. With the dash air not working we had to keep windows open which was noisy. When it got hot we turned on the generator for coach air conditioning. We stopped for lunch at a Country Fare Restaurant at a truck stop near Willcox. The service was very slow so we spent too much time there. We stayed at the Tra-Tel RV Park. It's a Passport America Park and is quite nice with a pretty desert view. But it stayed hot all night and loud train whistles blew about every hour. It was difficult to sleep. The time zone changes didn't help either!

We stopped at an Iron Skillet restaurant near El Paso, for lunch. We drove to Deming, New Mexico and stayed at the Little Vineyard RV Park. It is very hot, dry, and windy. The official humidity was 2 percent. I didn't know it could get that low! The country side is so dry we fear that the wildfire danger is very high. And to think that there is flooding in other parts of the country! What a contrast from Louisiana and east Texas!
No air is coming through the dash vents in the motor home. Joe looked for a bad fuse but couldn't find one. We called a couple of local places for service but couldn't find anyone who would work on it. We'll have to open windows or turn on the generator for air.

We had lunch at an IHOP in Fort Stockton, TX, then drove to Van Horn, TX. Texas is big with long stretches of road! We're at the Mountain View RV Park. It was a Passport America park, but it is under new management and isn't anymore. The new manager has plans to fix it up. It is quiet and peaceful with desert vegetation and some cactus flowers. There's a ranch next to the park with pretty horses. It is very hot, dry, and windy, but the night cooled off.

Again we stopped at a Cracker Barrel near Kerrville, TX for a late breakfast. We arrived at the Circle Bar RV Park in Ozona, TX. The park is just a big parking lot, but they have a good restaurant and a gas station. It was 100 degrees, but the humidity wasn't as high as it had been. Leah and Arden took a little walk after 8 PM and it was still sunny and hot. But it did cool down during the night. We were not able to get 3G here in the evening, but it worked fine the next morning. No cell phone service here.
We watched the news about the terrible tornados in Missouri and Oklahoma.

We had breakfast at a Cracker Barrell about 5 miles from the Houston East RV Park. Delicious granola pancakes with fruit and nuts! After about an hour we stopped at a Camping World to have our refrigerator looked at, but their service department was backed up for three weeks. We continued to Seguin, TX. We found Twin Palms RV Park, located just off the freeway. It is a small private park with mostly long term residents. The manager was very helpful, even helping us to hook up! We had to change to a second spot because of an electrical problem. The river ran under the freeway. After dinner we walked down to the boat dock, saw people fishing and water skiing under the noisy freeway. It was very pretty under there, but we were constantly aware of heavy traffic overhead. Unique!
There was a tree in the way of the satellite TV. It stayed hot and humid all night. We slept well to the hum of the freeway!

We drove to Baytown, TX and are staying at the Houston East RV Park. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch. We filled up on propane. Our refrigerator has been running only on propane instead of switching to electricity when we plug in. The RV park is next to a little lake. It is very hot and humid so we waited until early evening to take a walk. It got a little windy during the night.

After our get-away breakfast a Ukelele ensemble from Vancouver entertained us. They were very good. We said good-byes and put away all the stuff we had out. Most of the rally attendees stayed for the Rotary International Convention, but we had decided to move on. A couple of more rigs came in just for the convention.
We drove to Poche's Fish 'N Camp RV Park in Breaux Bridge, LA. We saw some high water along the way. We ate a late lunch at the Poche's Restaurant for craw fish estoufee and BarBQ chicken. It was very hot and humid so we stayed in air conditioning looking at the lake from the coach. Later Arden and Leah took a walk around the nearest lake, watching the sun set. There are 5 fishing lakes here. It was a beautiful evening, but stayed hot all night.

First we had breakfast at the Alumni Center. We took an informative bus tour of the city. We toured the Longue Vue House and gardens. There is a lot of history in the old estates. This house had quite a collection of antique dolls and ceramics. Also we saw more of the effects of Katrina. After the tour we took a cruise on the steamship Natchez. We got back to camp tired and ready for Happy Hour. Leah won a handmade bag in the raffle. We ate leftovers in the Motor Home.
20 May 2011
After breakfast we went on a bus tour of two plantations: the Laura and the Oak Alley. The tour got off to a late start because of some miscommunication. The first was a Creole Plantation. Our guide told us a lot of stories of the families who lived there. The gardens were beautiful including flowers and vegetables. The second was much more formal with a long alley of gnarled old oak trees. We just had time for a snack in the cafe before boarding the bus. On the way back we saw a lot of water gushing from the spillway on the Mississippi into Lake Pontchatrain. At dinner the new board was introduced and we had Dixieland music entertainment.

After a breakfast of oatmeal and fruit at the UNO Alumni Center we got on the bus for the French Quarter Tour. Not much has changed since our visit here in February, 2010, but the tour included other points of interest. A highlight for me was a tour of the home of the author Frances Keyes. Her books are out of print but they sold old paperback copies and used hard copies. I bought one paperback and wished I had more time to browse through more. The tour was moving on. We had a muffaletta for lunch. Then we went to the Cafe du Monde for a beignet for desert, then bought some Coffee with chicory and some pralines to take home for ourselves and for gifts. In the evening we had a catered dinner at the Alumni Center consisting of crab bisque, lemon chicken, and bread pudding. I won't get on a scale for months after this trip!

A beautiful day in New Orleans! We stayed around camp greeting members as they arrived. Leah walked to a nearby store to pick up a few things. Joe attended the RVF Board meeting at 2 PM. We had a big crowd and lots of hors d'oeuvres for Happy Hour. We went with the Traisters to check out the location for the meals at the University of New Orleans Alumni Center. Lake Pontchartrain is big and full of water. It looks like the ocean! I hope to have some time to take pictures of it tomorrow. We went to the board dinner at the famous Tujacques restaurant. After a fantastic 5 course dinner we could barely walk. The restaurant was established in about 1850 and has a lot of history. The big mirror behind the bar was brought from Paris.

We took a beautiful drive from Little Rock to Alexandria, LA, mostly on US 167. There were lots of green trees and fields and interesting little towns. We then went about 30 miles south to the Crooked Creek Recreational Area Campground. The roads were winding and narrow making it quite an adventure! At the end of this we came to a beautiful park with all the facilities. We were nestled in a forest next to a lake. We wished we could spend a few days there.
16 May 2010
We drove from Crooked Creek to the University of New Orleans RV Park. Along parts of I 10 from
Baton Rouge we could see the rising water, and water coming in from a spillway. The highway is a bridge over the waterways, so we were high and dry! It is just so sad that so many people lost everything with the flooding waters when the spillways were opened.
A lot of rigs arrived early for the rally which doesn't start until tomorrow. So we had a great time greeting old friends and meeting new. There were a lot of burrs on the ground which got into the dogs' fur and paws. We gathered for an impromptu happy hour. The weather was beautiful during the day, but a fierce wind blew all night.

We visited the Old Court House in Little Rock. There is a lot of Civil War history and local history here. Then we took a 50 cent trolley ride around the city. The driver described every thing we passed. A real bargain! We browsed through a farmers market and ate lunch. We took a trolley back to our car, then stopped at a Walmart before going back to camp. In the evening we went to a Chinese Restaurant with a big buffet.

There were loud thunder storms during the night. We visited the Clinton Presidential Library today. It is quite impressive. We learned a lot. They also had a special display of Dr. Suese's art, books, and cartoons. We did't know he had done so much. The Arkansas River, bridges and surrounding landscape are beautiful. Construction is being done for a walkway and bike path on the bridge. We had a good lunch with a sandwich and gumbo in their cafe. It got too windy to eat outdoors. We will have left over spaghetti tonight. This RV Park offered a special giving Saturday free, so we plan to take them up on it to visit more historical sites in Arkansas.

We stayed at camp today doing laundry, cleaning in the RV, taking walks, and resting. Betty made us a spaghetti dinner followed with spumoni ice cream. We made plans for what to do on the way to New Orleans and prayed that the impending flooding wouldn't affect us.
12 May 2011
We ate breakfast. Then we packed up everything to break camp. We drove with the Lunds and Traisters to the North Little Rock KOA RV Park. We were finally able to get good cell phone service so I could retrieve voice mail messages and make some needed phone calls. We shared champagne for happy hour. We got Hedy on the phone and we all talked to her. For dinner we ate left over tritip and mashed potatoes. Betty made more of her Italian bread.
While we were camping at the Crater of Daimonds we could hear the cicadas in the trees. We also saw a lot of their exoskeletons on the ground. They have a very interesting life cycle beginning underground, then in the trees. Also we were facinated by a red cardinal who was often seen pecking at mirrors and chrome on cars and RVs. Did he think his reflection was another bird?

After breakfast we went with Ken to visit the Historic Washington State Park. This is where the Confederate Capital was after Little Rock fell to the North. First we took the surry ride to get an overall view of the whole place. Then we visited and had excellent docent tours of the old court house, the printing museum, and the gun museum. We had an excellent lunch at the Williams Tavern Restaurant. We got back to camp just in time to walk Arden and go to Happy Hour. Betty made a delicious dinner of turkey meat loaf. We were tired and went to bed early.

We drove US 82 through green fields and tree lined roads. This is not what we thought Texas looked like. It is good to get off the Interstate! We drove through pastoral scenes, small towns with very old and brand new houses and stores. There are a lot of churches. We arrived at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in the afternoon, met old friends for happy hour. This is a beautiful camp ground, well laid out, lots of trees, a walking trail to the Little Missouri River. But Joe can't get his Direct TV due to the dense trees. Cell phone service is poor, and the 3G access is spotty.
May 8, 2011, Mothers' Day
Our wagon masters made a pancake breakfast. We went to the Visitors Center for an orientation presentation and to look around. We learned how to go about hunting for diamonds. We went back to camp where Leah and Arden did the 1.2 mile River Walk. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The weather was warm and overcast so pictures may not be great. Our wagon masters outdid themselves preparing a delicious tri-tip dinner.
May 9, 2011
After the pancake breakfast we gathered shovels and buckets and set out to find a big diamond. We rented screen sets and a saruca, a round screen slanting to the center so that the heavier diamonds will wash to the middle. We spent several hours sifting and sleucing soil and rocks. The best we came up with was quartz, jasper, calcite, etc. No diamonds! But we had fun playing in the mud!
We came back to camp, cleaned up, and prepared for a pot-luck supper. There sure are good cooks in this group!
It got very hot and humid, and stayed hot all night. We're concerned about thunder storms predicted for the next few days.

We drove from Vernon, TX on US 287, cutting off on US 82, going to Paris, TX. It was a pleasant drive, one lane in spots, going through a few small towns. It would have been nice to have had the time to stop at interesting little stores and restaurants. Often the road was treelined with green fields. A lot nicer than the Interstate!
We did stop at Saint Jo for gas and picked up huge delicious hamburgers for lunch. They were made on wonderful homemade buns. I don't know what they are called. Joe is still fighting his cold and did't feel up to sitting in a restaurant.
On the Internet we found a little, new RV park about 5 miles East of Paris, TX, right on US 82 - Live Oaks RV Park. The address on the Webpage was just a mailing address, so we had to call to find them. It is next to open fields with sheep, goats, and horses. It's a quiet, pleasant little park in a ranch-like setting. It stayed warm all night.

This morning we'll head for Diamond Crater State Park near Murfreesboro, AR to meet other Rotary RV Fellowship members for a rally. We hope to find a big diamond!

It was a longer drive today to the Rocking A RV Park in Vernon, TX. We took US Hwy 287 after Amarillo, TX. It was a nice drive with a little slowing through a few small towns. It was a warm, windy day. The park is next-door to a Walmart, so we picked up what we needed for the pot luck in Arkansas.

We left home on Sunday, May 1 to meet the Rotary RV Fellowship at Diamond Crater State Park in Arkansas. We started out caravanning with Bob and Hedy, stopping for lunch at Peggy Sue's near Barstow. We stayed at the Elk's Lodge in Needles. They have nice RV sites with full hookups and a nice bar where Leah could celebrate her birthday! The weather was warm and windy.
2 May 2011
Hedy was having stomach pain, so they decided it was best for them to go back home on Monday. That was a real bummer! We continued on our own to Flagstaff and stayed at Black Barts. Joe came down with a bad cold so we didn't go to their dinner show. It was sunny and breezy when we arrived in Flagstaff, but it got down to 19 degrees on Tuesday morning. We had put some water into the fresh water tank and did not connect the hose for fear of freezing.
